"The Age of Progress brought great
wealth, yet great poverty"
Age of Progress
Inventors
and Inventions
1563-1908 AD
New machines and ideas
rapidly transformed our way of life, transportation and work. Great
wealth was accumulated as new technology rapidly transformed the
world's culture. "Being
busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is
production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there
must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest
purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing."
Thomas A Edison
