Page Turner Posted December 18, 2015 Share #4 Posted December 18, 2015 Lewis Mumford's book on the history of technology ought to be required reading in high school. That he published it in 1934 only makes it the more remarkable. “Moment to moment, it turns out, is not God’s conception, or nature’s. It is man conversing with himself about and through a piece of machinery he created."We effectively became “time-keepers, and then time-savers, and now time-servers” with the invention of the clock.” ― Lewis Mumford, Technics and Civilization Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
