Who made this comment on the technical progress enabling people to come up with ever new methods of transportation and travel?
"When they have managed to get travellers comfortably seated inside a cannon so that they can be shot off like bullets in any given direction civilisation will doubtless have taken a great step forward. We are making rapid strides towards that happy time when space will have been abolished; but they will never abolish boredom, especially when you consider the ever increasing need for some occupation to fill in our time, part of which, at least, used to be spent in travelling."
