To me, there were a couple different kinds of changes that came about after the revolution.
First, there were social changes. Before the revolution, Iran was a very secular and open country. After the revolution, it became much more of a theocracy. Unlike before the revolution, there are now morality police that enforce the religiously based rules imposed by the government. On the other hand, it is generally said that wealth and education and such are spread more evenly than they had been.
Second, there were changes in Iran's international attitudes. Under the Shah, Iran was a US client. Since then, Iran has become more and more set on opposing the US and the West. The current issues over their nuclear program is a clear example of this.
