Not long ago, I was in a local thrift store and there were just a lot of second-hand books. I often go to see what is there, and the inventory will become once every two weeks or so. On the free shelves, they have half an encyclopedia. So now, no one really wants an encyclopedia, except that I like to do research to help my writing, no one, I think fewer people will want half an encyclopedia.
Still, I saved these books from the free heap. After scanning all of this information, yes, I read the encyclopedia before, I noticed some interesting things in the yearbook, attached books with encyclopedia subscriptions, or at least they were used to people when they were still buying them. In the annual book, they participated in all major events; natural disasters, scientific discoveries, major developments in various industries, and major events by governments around the world.
What I find very fascinating is that many of the things we find new today are actually invented decades ago. We may think that something is a new development, or a groundbreaking scientific field, but long ago, these were just a few of the previous findings of the incremental gaps in the backtracking chain. What it tells us is that whenever new discoveries are discovered, people will think of all potential applications and how it will change everything immediately. Things never happen so fast.
In fact, these things take years to implement, and it becomes reliable enough for some entrepreneurs to accept and run with this new technology. Sometimes the defense department or the entertainment industry, or even though the health care department will advance the technology as quickly as possible, even so, it may take five years to prove that it is reliable and even longer to penetrate the consumer market. .
Although it seems that we have made an incredible leap in technology every day, when we read the press releases of universities and research departments, it seems that everything is changing so fast, but the reality is that humans resist the transformation of industry. in this way. After all, why do they change something that is currently not working for the future, even if it will make a big difference one day - if they are making money now, why take some new risks?
The general lesson about the speed at which technology enters the market and our daily lives is that you can learn by reading the old encyclopedia yearbook. Indeed, I hope that you can consider all of this and think about it.
