Use part of the quote to embed, starting with the author. "If we could take a time machine back to the dawn of this century, one of the things sure to
prove most disorienting would be the absence of nearly everything familiar to us. Our lives are
grounded in inventions and innovations that became commonplace and unremarkable almost
the instant they arrived in our lives. Time travel, then, to the year 1901. There are no Oreos, no
refrigerators, no air-conditioning or washing machines, no M&Ms. MSG has not yet been
discovered. There are Chinese restaurants, nonetheless. We take these innovations for granted
almost as soon as they show up."O'Neill, Jaime. We're History! The 20th Century Survivor's Final
Exam. Fireside, 1998, p. 65.
