People are Strange Animals

And we (and our technologies) are getting stranger all the time. 

Let's take our technologies first. The Steam Engine (especially the Stean Locomotive) was an awesome machine, and we changed ourselves to use it better. Abraham Lincoln, let me remind you, was a Railroad Lawyer, who became President, and was assassinated in a theatre. 

The North won the war because it had more Railroads (and more money). The Computer is now making money hand over fist.

We love the Computer that is so simple (and so complicated) it is driving ua nuts. Eveyone has a Phone and everyone is using it.
