UP THE ESCALATOR
"Life is like an escalator. You see, it carries you on regardless. And you might as well enjoy the view and seize every opportunity while you're passing. Otherwise, it'll be too late."

Why did we choose escalators?
Escalators play an important part in our lives today. We use escalators conveniently without thinking of its origins or consider the different effects escalators have on our lives.
As such, we decided to embark on this jouney of exploration to understand more about this world changing invention. To sum up how escalators have changed society, here is a poem:
Escalators
An idea of total brillance,
Manifest in reality for us,
Changing how society moves at once,
Accepted with little fuss.
With non-stop action,
Requiring little on our part,
Giving a deep sense of satisfaction,
A mode of transport set apart.
Global reach of billions,
With limitless possibilities for enhancement,
Through the breaking of traditions,
Brings a world under enchantment.
-Nathaniel
