- laurent92 5y agoThe previous Kondratiev cycles were: - Steam engine (1825) - Electrical engineering and chemistry (1913) - Automobile (1950) - Computers… and even that could be split between the database era (1980), the web era (2000), and the AI era (2030?). For each cycle, it starts like wild competition, and ends with installed actors. Who would think of being the small guy who topples Ford by reinventing automobile today? No-one. There is no going back: Automobile has no “meaning”, just usages. All of this just makes society go faster. The only meaning in life is participating to the economy, family, and raising people from poverty.
