The Big Questions in the History of American Technology
One way of approaching an assignment on the state of our field would be to recite for you the number of technologists whose biographies are yet unwritten, of industries that remain unstudied, of machines whose origins are still shrouded in mystery, of captains of industry whose rise is yet unchronicled. I could then close with a plea to assign your graduate students these topics and assure you that we would soon have a complete understanding of o…
