It amazes me when I think about what mankind has accomplished over the last 100 years. I was not alive in 1912, but I know
that people did not have near any of the conveniences that we have today.
Nobody had a television, telephones were in existence but were very different from we have today. In those days, you took the
receiver off its hook and an Operator asked you Number Please and then placed your call for you. Back then, there was no line current, so you had to crank a magneto (a kind of electrical generator) to make enough current to ring the bell at the central operator’s switchboard. We have certainly come a long way in the world of telephones since then.
Our homes are so much more advanced. If we think of our heating, plumbing, electricity and appliances it is astonishing to think of how far we have come. Computers at home and at work have changed our world dramatically. Traveling has also advanced in unbelievable ways.
So , in thinking ahead to the future, what advancements do you see in just 20 years from now?
