Lessons of the Industrial Revolution and Railroad that apply to today’s technology

The Information Revolution is now unfolding in a similar way to the Industrial Revolution of the late 18th and early 19th century. The Information Revolution is now at the same point the Industrial Revolution was in the early 1820’s, about 40 years after James Watt’s improved steam engine was first applied to the spinning of cotton.

As the steam engine triggered the Industrial Revolution, the computer triggered the Information Revolution. While most organizations believe that nothing in economic history has ever moved as fast as, or had a greater impact then, the Information Revolution, the Industrial Revolution moved at least as fast in the same time span and had probably an equal or greater impact. What can your organization learn from this study of the past?
