- technology was God’s chosen instrument of progress… Yet the progress had a darker side
- technological improvements that transformed life… these advances did not benefit everyone
These phrases stood out due to the fact that they not only reflect the pros and cons of technology then, they also reflect how technology affects us today. I think it is crazy how the issue of technology started then, yet we continue to have the same problem many years later. I could only imagine how “weird” it was for them to have such new technology and how to incorporate it in their lives (kind of out of nowhere) because nowadays, we have always had technology around us but we are constantly improving these gadgets, machines, etc.
Another concept in which I found interesting was hydropathy- the “water cure.” Despite the book explaining what it was, I still did not understand what it meant so I looked it up. From what I researched, it was an alternative form of medical care. Hydropathy would cure by placing cold water on various places of the body.
