Indeed, such a list is endless. We see at once that high impact changes never cease and all are important as each locks into a situation created by its predecessors. Planes, trains and automobiles do crash. Chemically induced cancer surely does occur. Government does lose its way increasingly in a complicated world.
Economic change can move like an avalanche, and leave as much destruction behind.
Individuals, living in an age of enforced hurry, do wind up with longer life expectancies but less real time of their own. And whole populations, scattered around the globe, become so competitive with the tools of change that they turn on each other, vicious beyond belief. Call it what you will, this thing of extensive and pervasive change in the mechanics of doing things, employing new basic concepts, has penetrated our social awareness. We do not think of it as necessarily presenting a simple case, like the pasteurization of milk, largely beneficial without much on the negative side except a little more arteriosclerosis. We have at the least a lurking suspicion that we could have a bear by the tail.
