Electricity and industrialization in general did change a lot. You do not have to work 12 hours in fields under the sun anymore. Life expectancy is significantly longer too. Industrial Revolution helped to fuel lots of social progress which would be impossible if 90% of population were agricultural field workers.
This is a friendly reminder that medieval peasants had more freedom of movement, worked significantly less hours/days per year, and had stronger and richer community and family loves than anyone in our advanced modern society.
