Industrial revolution.

This chapter already starts of interesting, with the words of Ghandi saying the machinery produces too fast and will exploit the villagers. But once it started, even his hometown couldn't help but indulge in the machinery type of lifestyle. It's kind of like modern times. There are people who think badly of cellphones but there is honestly almost no way around it. Almost every culture and community has embraced it and it is now part of our life, and if you do not have one, it is hard.

There were cons and pros to this industrial revolution. We are where we are in society because of it, well when it comes to technology and all that, but at the same time, where we are isn't such a good thing either. The impact of the industrial revolution of our environment is detrimental and it is only a matter of time before we ALL feel the effects of it. There is only one earth as far as we know, and eventually our environment won't be able to support the amount of people in it. We are ruining our own environment with our advancements.
