Passage 5
The railroads was not the first institution to impose regularity on society or to draw attention to the importance of precise time keeping. For as long as merchants have set out their wars at day break and communal festivities have been celebrated, people have been in rough agreement with their neighbours as to the time of day. The value of tradition is today mor apparent than ever. Were it not for public acceptance of a single yardstick of time, social life would be unbearably chaotic. The massive daily transfer of goods. Services and information would proceed in fits and starts, the very fabric of modern society would begin to unravel.
[N.I.F.T. (PG) 2014]
