that's actually very impressive. they completely didn't expect the computer and the airplane, and they didn't dare say anything about contraception, but a lot of their expectations did come about. much of it not quite in the way they anticipated, but still. i don't think that i could do as well today.
love the preoccupation with pneumatic tubes. pneumatic tubes! i wish for them! they make my steampunky heart happy.

unfortunately i didn't get to see any pneumatic tubes. now i feel robbed, robbed i tell you!
i wonder whether they use any here. they did at the last two i worked at, which was a long time ago. loved it.
