"Discoveries which seem approaching their ultimate condition are telephony, photography, illumination and apparently labor-saving machinery in some of its fields, since the performance of some machines appears to have practically reached perfection…We cannot, indeed, well conceive of a greater activity of invention and a more rapid unfoldment of new processes than we have had before us in the nineteenth century...One by one each of the varied lines of invention will reach its ultimatum and gradually the activity of man in this direction decrease. While the twentieth century may be as active in the development of mechanism as the nineteenth has been, it seems unlikely to be more so, and in succeeding centuries, inventive activity must decline for want of fields in which to exercise itself."
- Charles Morris, the Marvelous Record of the Closing Century, 1899.
