Technology Becomes Invisible When It Matures Fully

When transformative technology works, we stop talking about how weird it is. Benedict Evans on how that happens: "There's a chart I did of the number of people employed in the US as elevator attendants, which is a perfect bell curve." "First half of the 20th century, you deploy a lot of elevators." "Second half of the 20th century, they become automatic." "You don't get into an elevator now and say 'it's an electronic elevator'... It's just an elevator." @benedictevans and @balajis on The Network State Podcast
