The spectacle and witnessing something revolutionary makes the person feel like they're a part of history. A modern equivalent is any time that happens. The article is irrelevant, whether it's a huge hard drive or an artificial heart or a robotic arm or a human dinosaur hybrid being loaded into a cargo crate doesn't matter.
