Bill, I agree with you on the "interesting times" scenario.
Keep this in mind. 100 years ago horses and buggies were
still the main mode of transportation, man had not yet
flown an airplane, electricity was in its infancy, radio
was a new invention, movies were just beginning, the telephone
was the most sophisticated electronic device, the telegraph was
still the main mode of long distance communication, trains and
ships were the main mode of long distance transportation, there were
no paved roads, there were no sky scrapers, steam engines
ruled as the main power source,
oil lamps were the main light source, there
were no antibiotics, automobiles were a newfangled invention
the average life expectancy was around 45 years.....

Look what a mess we have now! LOL!
