Thus the city developed along the axial line of history. There was not, of course, yet any doubt that this line was the line of rational development. For the first time, one saw the city as an organized whole: one saw the city as both the center of and the basis of development. At first, it was only a structural form in the life of men; from then on, however, it became themselves; it was their environment, their matrix." When one spoke, for example, of a new city, one did not in fact invent it; it already existed. Which was then another reason for the appearance of social techniques: they gave life to the city, they made it human.
And so we have reached the first rational and constructivist societies. And, despite certain conditions peculiar to them, this society was already pre-technological. Just as the city was the matrix, so now it was time for work and the means of work.
At this point, we can clearly see that the characteristics of mechanized society are almost everywhere present and that they are omnipresent. It is in no way necessary for us today to return to primitive societies in order to see clearly that we are dealing with a mechanized society. Way before radio, television, and fax, robots were set to perform industrial tasks; and it is difficult to find a factory where machinery does not hold a prominent place. The mechanical automata of the medieval guilds are widespread and begin to appear now in the transport and communications industries. It is quite easy to observe, at the present time, the measure of this mechanization. Whereas we have hitherto deemed the most successful societies to be those which gathered the greatest number of people together in the smallest possible space, we must now admit that it is the biggest cities which seem to absorb the most individuals. At the same time we have still another other indication of increasing mechanization: the fact that techniques are less and less capable of satisfying our needs. There is a growing uneasiness that our needs multiply; they realize that they are incapable of fulfilling them. d2c66b5586
