I have a feeling it was awesome to live in America in the 80s and 90s. (1880s of course). This article hints on the zeitgeist of the era. But I'm mostly reminded by this when I walk over the Brooklyn bridge. That bridge was completed in 1883 and somehow is still heavily used today. At the time, nothing that big was ever built. Nobody even knew if a suspension bridge that long would be feasible. Also by 1882, NYC had it's first electricity power plant thanks to Edison. Imagine the benefits of electricity over gas burning light. Reminds me of Arthur c Clarke's quote "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic".
