>From 1829 Age of Steam and Railways In Britain and spreading to Continent
and USA

Iron and coal mining (now playing a central role in growth)

Railway construction

Rolling stock production

Steam power for many industries (including textiles

Railways (Use of steam engine)

Universal ostal service

Telegraph (mainly nationally along railway lines)

Great ports, great depots and worldwide sailing ships

City gas

THIRD:

>From 1875 'Age of Steel, Electricity and Heavy Engineering' USA and Germany
overtaking Britain

Cheap steel (especially Bessemer)

Full development of steam engine for steel ships

Heavy chemistry and civil engineering

Electrical equipment industry

Copper and cables

Canned and bottled food

Paper and packaging

Computer-aided biotechnology and new materials

World digital telecommunications (cable, fiber optics, radio and satellite)

Internet/Electronic mail and other e-services

Mutliple source, flexible use, electricity networks

High-speed physical transport links (by land, air and water)

SIXTH?:

2020 'Age of Personal Digital Fabrication' Europe, USA, Japan (spreading
world wide)

Modularized, distributed, adaptive, and self replicating energy,
communications, and manufacturing

Innovation and anticipatory web based technologies are used to accelerate
technological development itself

 Products of post-industry become the infrastructure. Transition in
political economy from 'financial capital' to 'financial commons' to 'free
use commons'
