I wouldn’t mind the idea of everything going digital. So long as we actually own the digital copies we buy. So long also as we are able to continually access said digital copies. We wouldn’t be having this physical vs digital debate going on for so long, if the practices of what companies like Sony and other media companies have been going about with handling digitally purchased content.
It’s a very stupid easy of a solution that has been continually fumbled time and time again. Because greed got in the way.
Cheep oil enabled the wide spread use of automobiles. I don’t know why you’d think anyone said it eliminated them.
Not what I’m referring to. See Killers of the Flower Moon (2023) for details.
My point is, at the time Electric wasn’t superior. It was cleaner, easier, and nicer to operate, but far less capable. Hense inferior at the time.
The first “Electric Carrage” was invented in the 1830s. The first mas market version in the US was in 1890.
The process for refineing crude oil into other products such as gasoline, was invented in 1891.
First: The electric was made my industrialists also. There were no noble “good guys” in this environment.
Second: My point again, is it didn’t matter that the oil industrialists screwed over the electric industrialists. Electric at the time couldn’t begin to compete with internal combustion engines.
Your “point” is that you don’t understand the question or answer.
Let me try to explain once more.
The question asks what do you wish was executed better so we’d have it today.
Your answer is early EVs at the turn of the 20th century.
My critique is that they executed as well as they could, it still wasn’t good enough.
Does that make sense now?
Your assertion rhat stagnant technology and unsustainable fuel is a better foundation for the automobile industry than dynamic, improvable technology and renewable resources makes the exact same amount of nonsense it did the first time.
The oil barons applaud your devotion to grime.
nope, not at all. read.
Then nobody knows what you’re talking about. If not the origin of motor vehicles, then nothing this whole time makes any sense. I don’t it know what to say
Just you. You seem to be the only one confused.
That tracks.
There’s only the two of us. And I stand by what I said.
Wow, you also don’t know what a forum is. Wild.
By all means, stand tall next to your oil fields. "Stagnationnn! " your banner.
