The 21st century is a very different place than the early 1900s. It has invented and accomplished things that people of that time could only have dreamt of. But ironically enough, despite its great technological and scientific advances, the world is in a state of chaos more then ever before—and the very things that have been invented by man to improve his communication with his fellowmen cannot save it; in fact, in some ways it has contributed to the state of affairs today. Little wonder it has made some persons look back with fondness at the simple, idyllic, relatively peaceful world of the early 1900s.
