Progress may, perhaps, be perceived by historians; it can never be felt by those actually involved in the supposed advance. The young are born into the advancing circumstances, the old take them for granted within a few months or years. Advances aren't felt as advances. There is no gratitude--only irritation if, for any reason, the newly invented conveniences break down.

                        Aldous Huxley, from Eyeless in Gaza, 1936
