Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides a forward-looking examination of progress across various industrial sectors, particularly in the areas of natural resources and their conversion into usable power. It begins by discussing the steam engine and early electrical advancements at the beginning of the 19th century and posits that these were just the beginning of a century of sweeping change brought about by similar forces. The author, an experienced technological journalist, then examines where the next major advances may occur, particularly in areas such as the storage and transmission of energy, and the reduction or elimination of manual labor through the use of machines. Special attention is given to the potential of wave and tidal power, as well as the application of electrical storage in tandem with existing power sources such as windmills. By examining the patterns of the past and present, this book provides fresh insights and educated predictions about the future of industrial development.
