Paddaman Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 If you had to adjust it population size at time of launch, it would still be scary, but less scary. eg: When the car launched in 1893 the worlds population was around 1,5 billion. 60 years later it was around 2,8 billion. So at that stage 50 million was about the same as 150 million today.Also one should look at the infrastructural support each "invention" required. There is a serious knock on effect of the later technologies. Without electricity, no internet, without internet, no youtube, ext. Also consider the "resistance to change" and "novelty" factors. Some inventions required major changes to consumer behaviour, where others were simply "follow-ons" to current behaviour but only easier.Consider that we have electricity for over 100 years and we still cook our food on open fires?Many of us still want a human interface when banking.I still do not have a television (1976 is when it arrived in RSA) and I prefer walking, running of cycling as my commute and personally would do away with tar roads (I am a mtbker and trail runner ) Patchelicious 1
