Can you think of inventions which were or could have been considered miracles of sorts in their times? and how people may have reacted to them.
Like
TV: jeez, how did those people get into this thing?
Telephone: *how is this thing talking to me? *
Toilet paper: What am I supposed to do with it?
Gun: what a cute little decoration peace.. i am gonna gift it to my wife on her birthday

Re: Past inventions and how people may have reacted to them
Well, for the inventions above I was most likely not born when they came out. The things I can think of off the top of my head would be ipod, itouch, ipad etc. I wasn't shocked or reacted like it was some big invention because we already had listening devices (mp3 players). When ipod came out it was the simple kind with a screen and music playing ability. Slowly it revolved to play videos and become touch screen. It all felt like a natural course of technological inventions.
opps, I thought you were asking how we reacted to inventions.
