Inventions by R. Buckminster Fuller

For instance, when I was young those humans who were most remote from others had to travel a minimum of six months to reach one another; approximately none of them ever did so. That is why Kipling's "East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet" seemed so obviously true to the vast millions who read or heard his words. That has all changed. Today, any one of us having enough credit to acquire a jet air-transport ticket can -- using only scheduled flights -- physically reach anybody else around the world within twenty-four hours, or can reach each other by telephone within minutes.
