Thanks for your view! My analogy was intentional—I wanted to talk about revolutionary tools that extend human capabilities, not about the foundational infrastructure itself. Of course, the internet is a fundamental platform like the wheel, but I’m focusing on what’s built on top of that—how new tools like predictive inference change the landscape again. Analogies can work at different layers. I just chose the tool, not the medium.
