Smog had already been an issue in London since the late 19th century. He definitely could have thought that the many vehicles would only contribute to the problem, and ultimately lead to the demise of everyone. Also, you are quite right about today's technological dependence. Text messaging is not personable, and they can often be interpreted incorrectly. However, it can be an efficient way to communicate with someone. I have friends that prefer that method, and refuse to listen to their voice-mails. Because of this technology, I feel as though I can and must be connected to my friends at all times. As a result, I have become completely dependent on it, and when it fails or people do not respond, I tend be frustrated. I find it disturbing how society has evolved into a one that is so incredibly dependent and controlled by technology.terrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531985794925297408noreply@blogger.com
