Shift

A hundred years ago, it was 1920.  Back then, there was less established infrastructure.  And less expectation of being looked after by a third party. Infrastructure was less complex back then, too.  

Expectations of ‘being looked after by others’ has grown, especially when something goes wrong. 

Fortunately, now we assess what happened, and put things into place to aim for ‘this will never happen again’.   

Some may say we’re more fragile now than a hundred years ago, but that’s just one perspective.  Now, as was then, when disasters occur, they are resolved, cleaned up, and we get back to business.
