1910. A lot of brutal, back-breaking work built the modern world. Most of those who did that work are anonymous and forgotten. We’d be completely incapable of repeating their efforts today, even a day of it would have 90% of the workforce off to the EAP for counselling. Life is definitely better for us today, because of that work. What work are we all doing today, to bequeath to people 100 years from now? Look around, what are we building that will make life 100 years from now profoundly better than life today? Are we just living off the fat of that past labour?
