Industrial Revolution Quotes - Page 2

• No hemos heredado un mundo fácil. Desarrollos como la revolución industrial, que comenzó en Inglaterra, y los dones de la ciencia y la tecnología nos han facilitado mucho la vida, pero también la han hecho más peligrosa. En la actualidad, nuestra libertad y nuestra propia existencia se ven amenazadas por peligros que otras generaciones ni siquiera habrían imaginado. En primer lugar, la amenaza de una guerra mundial. Ningún presidente, ningún Congreso, ningún primer ministro, ningún parlamento puede pasar un día totalmente libre de esta amenaza. Si la historia enseña algo, es que el autoengaño ante hechos desagradables es una locura.

• When I was trying to figure out why lives have improved so much in the last 300 years, where we've gone from a third of kids dying before 5 to - by 1990 it was down to 10% - now it's down to 5%. And saying why, over all history, there were smart people, but that number didn't change. Average life span didn't change. What's magical about what's been deemed the Industrial Revolution? It's really energy intensity.

• Since the industrial revolution, cities, and especially the inner cities, were the places for the newly arrived. Voluntary immigrants seeking economic betterment, refugees, the bohemians, the artists - all of those people were crammed into densely populated neighborhoods and tenements. And as people climbed up the economic ladder they moved out, which really accelerated with the "white flight" phenomenon in the '60s and '70s.

• To those who think that all this sounds like science fiction, we point out that yesterday's science fiction is today's fact. The Industrial Revolution has radically altered man's environment and way of life, and it is only to be expected that as technology is increasingly applied to the human body and mind, man himself will be altered as radically as his environment and way of life have been.
