About This Quote
The idea that all things are connected and an integral part of the universe is not so far-fetched. There are many examples of how small changes can create big effects. For example, the invention of the lightbulb made it possible for people to go to bed at night instead of staying up all night reading by candlelight. The invention of the microscope allowed scientists to discover viruses and bacteria that were previously unknown.
The advent of electricity led to the creation of radios, televisions, CD players, and DVD players, which in turn led to the creation of iPods and iPhones. These are just a few examples of how seemingly unconnected things can lead to incredible changes in our world.
