Forget the flattery and consider the defining moment of modernism

Article Abstract:

The Industrial Revolution brought dramatic changes in Britain in a span of 200 years, but the two centuries are not believed to have constituted a 'defining moment'. The use of the term 'Modern Age', however, brings into sharp focus many defining moments, and the most striking one, being Major Pritchard's crossing of the Atlantic in an airship, who is the first man to land in America by air on a parachute.
