“The change that comes first mind, the one that overshadows and even controls all others, is the industrial one— the application of science resulting int he great inventions that have utilized the forces of nature on a vast and inexpensive scale: the growth of a wold-wide market as the object of production, of vast manufacturing centers to supply this market, of cheap and rapid means of communication and distribution between all parts. Even as to its feebler beginning, this change is not much more than a century old; in many of its most important aspects it falls within the short span of those now living. One can hardly believe there has been a revolution in all history so rapid, so extensive, so complete. Though it is the face of the earth that is making over, ever as to its physical forms; political boundaries are wiped out and moved about, as if they were indeed only lines on a paper map; population is hurriedly gathered into cities from the ends of the earth; habits of living are altered with startling abruptness and thoroughness; the search for the truths of nature and infinitely stimulated and facilitated, and their application to life made not only practicable, but commercially necessary.” - John Dewey, The School and Social Progress, 1907
