in reading The Origin of Species yesterday along with Scribners 1895 concerning the evolution of the bicycle industry to cars and airplanes I was struck with how the transformation of industries was similar to the move of varieties to species.

Having always had this mild mania for flying, I was much impressed a few years ago when some one said to me: “If you want to come as near flying as we are likely to get in this generation, learn to ride a pneumatic bicycle.” Then I began for the first time to take a serious interest in the bicycle upon which my eldest boy was so fond of scurrying around the country; and today I am only too willing to say all that I can in its favor. When one begins to tell why the bicycle is one of the great inventions of the century, it is hard to begin, because there is so much to say. A bicycle is better than a horse to ninety-nine men and women out of a hundred, because it costs almost nothing to keep, and it is never tired.

- Philip G. Hubert, Jr., in Scribners 1895.

apparently this subject has been well researched:

The Evolution of Industry 1.0 to 4.0 and Beyond

People have been revolutionizing the production and manufacturing industry for as long as mankind has been around. The changing of items being made and distributed in the home to transitioning to them being mass manufactured and distributed using machines and new technology is what we call the Industrial Revolution. There are four main Industrial Revolutions: coal, gas, electronics and nuclear, and currently the internet and renewable energy. These are also known as Industry 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, and currently 4.0. At the rate technology and knowledge is going though, is an Industry 5.0 soon to follow? If so when and what will that entail? Let’s look into each Industry and see how they have each helped shape and create the next.

the best description I can think of for the way the sp attempted to break the round at 6100 and waited to do so decisively was the way Jimmy Jacobs played handball, waiting 30 shots to hit a killer. can you think of a better example?
