Classifying Technological Breakthroughs
A new manufacturing process is invented that dramatically reduces the cost of producing lithium-ion batteries, making them 70% cheaper. This breakthrough is expected to have a major impact on the electric vehicle and consumer electronics industries, which rely heavily on these batteries. However, the process is highly specialized and has no known applications outside of battery manufacturing. Based on this information, explain why this invention, despite its significance, would not be classified as a general-purpose innovation.
