💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🗂️🔗 Starting in 1895, Belgian lawyers Paul Otlet and Henri La Fontaine built the #Mundaneum, a vast paper #archive of over 15 million index cards meant to gather and classify all human #knowledge.
Otlet also imagined “electric #telescopes,” networked screens users could query by phone, an early blueprint for the #internet. The project was dismantled after the 1940 Nazi invasion, but survives today as a #museum in #Mons and an online catalog.

There is no less invention in aptly applying a thought found in a book, than in being the first author of the thought.

🇨🇦 Canadian Word of the Day: Garburator
In Canada, that noisy machine under the kitchen sink that grinds up food scraps is called a 'garburator.' In the US and elsewhere, it's typically known as a 'garbage disposal.' The term 'Garburator' was originally a brand name for a unit made by General Electric, but like 'Kleenex' or 'Zamboni,' it became the common term for the device itself across the country. #Canada #CanadianSlang #WordOfTheDay #Invention

”Jeff Ding’s book ’Technology and the Rise of Great Powers‘ traces the relative impact of #invention and #diffusion during #technology revolutions. Ding argues that nations that dominate the “leading sector” of a general purpose technology don’t reliably grow more powerful as a result. Diffusion is the defining factor. He posits that Britain’s edge in the first industrial revolution came less from inventing the steam engine and advances in steelmaking than from diffusing machinery through the whole economy so that many businesses, not just the steam engine manufacturers and the steelmakers, became more profitable. And America’s edge in the second industrial revolution had less to do with any single American breakthrough than with how fast interchangeable manufacturing, electrification, and eventually the automobile spread into every sector at once. Germany dominated many frontier industries, but there, growth and profits were concentrated in a few leading companies rather than diffused widely through society.
According to Ding, the importance of diffusion over frontier dominance continued in the 20th century. Though the US pioneered the electronics revolution, Japan appeared for a time to be winning the frontier race, at least in Ding’s narrative. It led the world in semiconductors, consumer electronics, and computer hardware through the 1980s, yet in the long run it still lost the information revolution to the US, a country that was worse at making the chips and better at putting computers to work throughout society.“

il y a 197 ans
W-A Burt a breveté aux états-unis l'ancêtre de la machine à écrire, «The Typographer» (brevet USX558111 du 23 juillet 1829, en croquis)Pellegrino Turri en avait déjà construit une en Italie dès 1808, inventant au passage le papier-carbone en guise de rouleau encreur.
Il améliorait le premier prototype d'Agostino Fantoni de Fivizzano en 1802.Henry Mill en avait déjà décrit le concept en 1714 (sans en construire).
