The average modern American has the equivalent energy output of about two hundred manservants to help him live -- well -- day to day, every day. Past ages had servants, we got appliances. It took half an hour to hitch the team up to a carriage; it takes half a minute to start a car. It took the wife or the washerwoman all Monday to do the week's laundry; now it's set it and forget it with the washing machine.
