These changes influenced the daily lives of Americans. Kyvig in this book attempts to evaluate the effect of innovations and technology on various sectors of the economy such as transport, electricity, communication, and entertainment. He describes the automobiles, electricity, radio, and cinema that resulted from technological innovations thus changing the lives of the ordinary Americans. Kyvig maintains in his thesis that despite the gradual and rapid changes in America to yield good, peaceful, and enjoyable lives, there were disruptions that have so far become part of human America. Technological innovations led to creation of more vehicles during the onset of the 1920s thus enhancing the movement of people. However, during this time it was unusual to own a motor vehicle. a fact that lost meaning in less than a decade where motor vehicle ownership became something common1. Kyvig2 confirms that it was during this period that many motor vehicle development and creation companies emerged. In this book, the author explains how with the introduction of credit buying market changed significantly where consumers were not only given the opportunity to own vehicle and other commodities but also changed their buying habit and behavior3. The concept of credit buying extended to electricity, radio, and cinema acquisitions within the daily lives of Americans. A new rhythm, aroma, and feeling in the American lives developed through invention of the electricity, radio, and cinema. Technological innovations of radio and cinema followed the electricity inventions since the former required power to play4. Transport and communication during these decades (1920-1939) were enhanced thereby making daily lives of ordinary Americans to be easy and enjoyable5. In addition, the author6 confirms that the introduction of cinema enhanced entertainment. During the early 1920s when motor companies were changing the market structure, Kyvig recalls that other than introduction of credit purchasing advertisement was another aspect of the market that had been developed. Therefore, introduction of motion pictures resulting from technological inventions of the cinema significantly changed the advertising aspect of business7. Nevertheless, Kyvig asserts that such sweet, enjoyable lives of Americans never lacked problems8. Despite gradual and rapid transformation of American lives during the 1920s, conflict, crime, and catastrophes that hit the American land disrupted the good lives. To the worst of all these problems was the Great Depression. Crumbling of the American economy in the 1930s was the genesis of American problems9. Later on came the World War II with its social upheaval and revitalization of the economy, which resulted into more problems10. A part that pains the author most is despite promise by Franklin Roosevelt’s administration to make life better, Americans have continued to suffer in pain11. The author claims that despite the promises and good life Americans had at the onset of 1920, the two decades were full of joy that were later on disrupted by crime, catastrophe, conflict, Great Depression, and the World War II. Some of these problems have become part of human in America. Part 2: Analysis Kyvig uses both chronological and thematic structures to explain how America lives changed gradually and rapidly with disruptions towards the end.
