That did not exist in the past

From the near past and the distant present What does man need a "wellness alarm clock" for? Why does everyone strive for a defined body, but speak an indefinable German? And if everyone's on standby, why do so few people have a point of view? - By comparing the past with the present, Bernd-Lutz Lange takes account of the zeitgeist. "It seems to me that I have entered a time in which much of what has been preserved over centuries is now disappearing." Since time immemorial, groundbreaking inventions have changed people's habits and everyday life dramatically. Just think of how the telephone, electricity or the automobile have accelerated people's lives. But no comparison with today: The whole world is pushing its way into our heads via the Internet, and so there are only moving men, women and children. Never existed at any other time.
