Slight tangent, but there is a marvelous series about this crossfeeding of technologies called 'Connections' by James Burke. Its old but still great to watch.

I can't recommend it highly enough, its worth taking the time to start at series one.
- raverbashing 14y agoOh, of course I remember it. It was also a column on SciAm But yeah, I've watched a couple of episodes, and it's very good.
- sageikosa 14y agoAlso by Burke, "The Day the Universe Changed", Netflix had/has it through their DVD service a few years back. In that series he goes into the history of the ideas that make our modern world possible. The idea being that the day the universe changes is the day you start looking at it differently.
