The statement is true, it is 19th Century technology. 2. Stating that it's 19th Century technology doesn't imply that it's bad. Indoor plumbing is 19th Century technology as well, doesn't mean I'm about to build my own cistern and water filtration system in my attic. 3. Urban public transportation systems using this 19th century technology were much more ubiquitous in the past than they are today... in short, the phrase "welcome to the 21st century" is more aptly put "welcome back to the early 20th century, when public transit in the US kicked ass and was the envy of the world". |
