For several centuries writers have been trying to prophesize future of mankind. The more the world is exposed to the influence of industrial and technological progress, the more spectacular prophecies are. For instance, in 1909 E.M. Forster wrote a short story The Machine Stops in which he predicted collapse of civilization due to extreme reliance on technology. At the beginning of twentieth century societies were developing very fast because of rapid industrialization. Telephones and cars, which were quick to assemble, were probably the greatest inventions that influenced society the most. A hundred years later, people continue to introduce state-of-the-art ...
