What I’m excited about: canal developments in 1790s in UK innovations down stream from Newcomen engine that pumped water out of mines led to development of the steam engine Steam engine led to being able to move lots of mass using canals, which led to massive canal development in England over the next few decades

Where did you (or where would you recommend I) start this rabbit hole? That's one of those unexpectedly, insanely high-leverage innovations that we take for granted.

Wasn't the canal system also built because the road system was rather poorly developed and badly maintained in the 18th century Britain?

This is a game changer and the first non crypto/nft related post I have seen in this platform and I’ve been here since June last year! Incidentally, I’m interested in British canals. In Edinburgh where I live, there is a canal which links Edinburgh to Glasgow and has incredible aqueducts which span the valleys.

I've watched maybe 100 hours of people boating around England's canal network talking about their history. Gotta go there on vacation someday. Fascinating stuff

steam engines made ships orders 10x better. steam engines also gave rise to trains: that was a 100-1000x improvement on land transport. we started seeing thriving land-locked cities. i think steam ships are crypto->tradfi. trains are net-new web3-native economies.
