History

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

creating and destroying; built flying cars & autonomous vehicles, now building /faust, more here: /july, web: july.rocks

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