"To point to the hurry and stress of modern town life as the cause of half
the
ills to which flesh to-day is heir has become commonplace. However, children
cope more easily with the new necessities of life, and new arrangements which
perplexed and worried their parents become habits easily borne. Thus we may
imagine future generations perfectly calm among a hundred telephones and
sleeping sweetly while airships whizz among countless electric wires over
their heads and a perpetual night traffic of motor cars hurtles past their
bedroom windows. As yet, it must be sorrowfully confessed, our nervous
systems are not so callous."

Scientific American, 1902
