Ch. 18 P. 1


What I find most interesting in this reading of chapter 18 is how industrialization dramatically altered the world in only a few centuries.  Industrialization changed the entire world in less than 250 years and more than the entire recorded history of the world.  No other period has brought upon such quick change to the entire globe.  I simply find it amazing because within 250 years we have gone from an agrarian society to an industrialized society that uses all sorts of technological applications in our daily life.  We feel as if we could not live without our mobile devices, electricity, gas, and even our cars, but to think that life was entirely possible in this manner only a few centuries ago is astonishing for me.
