that's a weak argument imo. all technologies can be considered applications of other technologies, from steel making to space faring.

- coldtea 7y agoWell, even if "all technologies can be considered applications of other technologies" some are less so than others. Besides we're not talking about mere products here, but core technologies, e.g. inventions. The steam engine, the combustion engine, electricity, the telephone, laser, microwave, satellites, and so on, weren't mere "applications of other technologies" and even less so a mere incremental bump in the way modern internet vs 60s/70s internet is.
