Thethird argument is the simplest: the evidence of your senses. The recent rate ofprogress seems slow compared with that of the early and mid-20th century. Takekitchens. In 1900 kitchens in even the poshest of households were primitivethings. Perishables were kept cool in ice boxes, fed by blocks of ice deliveredon horse-drawn wagons. Most households lacked electric lighting and runningwater. Fast forward to 1970 and middle-class kitchens in America and Europefeature gas and electric hobs and ovens, fridges, food processors, microwavesand dishwashers. Move forward another 40 years, though, and things scarcelychange. The gizmos are more numerous and digital displays ubiquitous, butcooking is done much as it was by grandma.
第三个方面的内容最简单:感觉到的证据。同之前和20世纪中期相比,目前的发展速度似乎慢于它们。以厨房为例:在1900年的时候,即便在最时尚的房子里,厨房还是刚出现时的那个样子。容易腐烂的食物被冷冻在冰盒中,这些盒子周围放置着用马车拉来的冰块,大多数家庭没有电灯和自来水。时间飞逝,到1970年时,美国和欧洲的中产阶层家庭的厨房中用上了天然气以及电热炉、电烤箱、电冰箱、食品加工机、微波炉和洗碗机。再让时间前进40年,情况却基本没有变化。尽管各种小玩意越来越多,数字显示器无所不在,但是,做饭的方式同爷爷那个时代没有什么不同。
