Quote: "This was a nervous and frenetic time that fell between the grim bookends of two World Wars. Technologically, it was not an especially innovative period. The electric light bulb, the automobile, the airplane, the skyscraper, the radio, and the telephone all predate World War I. It was, however, a time of development and dispersal rather than invention, giving rise to widespread use of modern technologies."
Paraphrase: The world was changing, new technology was coming to usage, and the the world was become more like the way we now know it.
