Generally I’m not sure the modern world is better, but you probably do own a lot of machines that take the place of many things servants would have done in the past. Laundry machine, dishwasher machine, mixing machine, fire tending machine, etc.
- rsynnott 3y ago> Generally I’m not sure the modern world is better ... Eh? I mean, it is clearly better by any reasonable measure. Bear in mind that most people in the 18th century didn't have a staff of servants.
- pfannkuchen 3y agoThe modern world is way, way more socially atomized than what most people would have experienced in the 1800s. Not everything is about technology or immediate comfort.
