I am reading The New Wave, the last book from Microsoft AI CEO Suleyman. He mentioned that a massive study pegged down the General Purpose Technologies to be only 24 in human history, but I can’t find the study. Does anybody know the study? This is the list btw:
- Domestication of plants
- Domestication of animals
- Smelting of ore
- Money
- Wheel
- Writing
- Bronze
- Iron
- Water wheel
- Three-masted sailing ship
- Printing
- Factory system
- Steam Engine
- Railways
- Steamship
- Internal combustion engine
- Electricity
- Automobile
- Airplane
- Mass production
- Computer
- Lean production
- Internet
- Biotechnology
Lean production isn’t a general purpose technology, it’s also a scam to sell certifications.
This list is missing math.
