The Continuous Nature of Technological Revolution
The Industrial Revolution initiated an era of continuous technological revolution, fundamentally shifting the pace of innovation. This new dynamic is characterized by a constant, cumulative process where the time required to produce most goods decreases from one generation to the next. This perpetual cycle of improvement, involving new ideas, methods, and machines, continuously renders older technologies obsolete.
