Popis: | The human ability to design and invent has changed the world in a relatively short time—less than ten generations since the invention of the Watt steam engine in the eighteenth century, which led to the Industrial Revolution. Since then, the number of inventions and design artifacts has exploded to create the current technology-based world and the overall much higher standard of living for a population of about 7–8 billion in the twenty-first century that is about ten times larger than that of the pre-Industrial Revolution! |
