60. An Increase in the Number of Earthquakes

No other natural event affects people as strongly as earth-
quakes, for they can happen anywhere and at any moment.
Throughout history, they have caused many deaths and great mate-
rial loss. For this reason, they are greatly feared. Even modern tech-
nology has been able to prevent earthquake-related damage only to
a certain extent.

The 1995 earthquake in Kobe serves as an example to those
who mistakenly think that technology will one day harness nature.
This earthquake caused massive and unexpected damage to Japan's
largest industrial and transportation center. Although it only lasted
20 seconds, as Time reported, it caused about $100 billion worth of
damage. 43
