Now that I have started thinking about technology and the invented mediums I can't stop picking it up in books I'm reading -
A quote from Dracula -
'I feel so grateful to the man who invented the 'travellers typewriter' and to Mr Morris for getting this one for me. I should have felt quite astray doing the work if I had to write with a pen...'
Even Madam Mina in Dracula is guilty of laziness with new technologies!
When people started writing Socrates complained that it would make them to lazy to remember the things they had learnt. We always view the new with trepidation - fearing that it will undermine the world we are familiar with.
ReplyDeleteSally - I think your journey has begun - because you are embracing the transport and letting it take you.
