Victorians & Technology

I think that the Victorians were a lot like we are in their passion for technology.  They were always looking for ways to improve things….from the sewage system to their communication.  A new tidbit of information that I learned…..the Victorians were actually the first inventor of the cell phone!  Not the cell phone that we know of today but  a very primitive version of it.  I also think the Victorians would be quite excited about how far our technology has improved today & the future prospects for it.  Not only would they be proud of how far we’ve come with it, but that we have actually used some of the elements that they first gave us.  Everything seems to circle around back to them!
