24 FUTURE The future isn’t a concrete thing. Think of it as a shifting mirage of a landscape that could alter in many ways. While it’s impossible to say for certain what the future could hold, it’s still interesting to remember just how far we’ve come as humans, through the rapid evolution of technology and the changes in our society. The 24 pages of this book each cover an area that’s influenced our world and can be read by rotating the book, like the individual digits on a clock.
INTRODUCTION
TRANSPORT BY LAND The Stage Coach As one of the earliest forms of transport introduced in the 18th century, the stage coach was pulled by horses over long distances and could carry about six people and their luggage. It was also used for carrying the mail and other valuable goods. A number of rules were made for passengers including the sharing of liquor to not appear selfish, not using rough language in front of ladies and children and forbidden conversations of stagecoach robberies and indian uprisings.
“Transportation is the center of the world! The glue of our daily lives. When it goes well, we don’t see it. When it goes wrong, it negatively colours our day, makes us feel angry” - Robin Chase
