Patterns of Technological Progress
Consider two technological developments in a historical context. The first is the creation of a new candle-making process that reduces the labor time required by 10%. The second is the invention of a system that allows a message to be sent across a continent in one day, where it previously took two weeks. Which of the following statements provides the best analysis of these two developments as measures of progress?
An economic historian is studying the efficiency of two different production processes over a 200-year period.
- Process A (Cloth Weaving): The time to produce one bolt of cloth decreased by a consistent 5% every 20 years for the entire 200-year period.
- Process B (Data Transmission): The time to transmit a 100-word message across a continent remained virtually unchanged for the first 150 years, then decreased by 99.9% over the final 50 years.
Based on this information, what is the most accurate conclusion about the nature of the progress observed in these two processes?
