Even though we have become used to the marvels of modern technology, we still need topause and think about the potential negative impact of this new invention.2. There was, however, a practical problem to overcome. While the quality of the lenses was improving quickly, getting them to stay on the face was a great challenge. Indeed, reading while eating often meant spectacles in the soup! Spectacles were held on the face by tying threads to the frames and looping them over the ears. Weights were sometimes tied to the ends of the threads to counterbalance the weight of the glasses to keep them from slipping off. Some people used threads or wires to hook their glasses to their hats so that they dangled just in front of the eyes. Others attached them to straps tied around the forehead or threaded them into their hair. Still other designs simply perched uneasily on the bridge of the nose. Later models worked a bit better by having the frames slightly pinch the nose. These stayed on the face longer, but they must have been quite uncomfortable.A. Once the technology was available, spectacles caught on quickly.B. People made many attempts to overcome this problem some stranger than others.C. Its hard to imagine why it took so long to design spectacles with arm pieces that could clip behind the ears.
