Extract
With his unaided faculties, a man is comparatively limited in performance. His vision, hearing and legs operate only over small distances, he cannot lift very heavy weights nor weave much cloth in an hour. But by making use of devices such as the aeroplane, the telephone, and the powered loom, he can exploit natural properties and forces, and thereby attain what is literally a superhuman standard of performance in all kinds of activities.
