I hate to bring something new up, and in what seems like such an uneducated light, but it's my honest opinion that so much of the 20th century was ruled by the concepts of efficiency and convenience. I've no real idea who could be held responsible for this... but despite the fact that it doesn't appear as an international concept (I will stipulate that most of these trends being discussed here are mostly for the luxury of first world countries - which on a national scale would make me feel that there was less of a Russian Revolution equalizing of the classes occurring) it just seems to me to be too prevalent an undertone to ignore in the spirit of the discussion. And now I'm going to have a drink and TRY to go to bed. I can't sleep worth a damn, so if this sounds dumb, it's just because I was lonely and sleepless.
