“Mechanical time now became second nature: the acceleration of the tempo became a new imperative for industry and 'progress.' To reduce the time on a given job, whether the work was a source of pleasure, or pain, or to quicken movement through space, whether the traveler journeyed for enjoyment or profit, was looked upon as a sufficient end in itself” (Mumford 198).
