Hello @sacra97 friend, I also knew the roller washers, and we are talking about the first technological advances of that time. I see our current and future world as indispensable without these advances and contributions that have made our lives easier at home and at work as well.
Worse, I also feel concern about the dependence on the technology that the current citizen and in training is developing, the human component is being displaced by "the human being himself" in search of comfort or novelty, I do not think that it is really "technology" the one that is causing this situation, according to what I have perceived in my professional environment and as a teacher.
Surely you have also observed this phenomenon closely.

Very good post.
