The internet has "mined" lots of ounces of ore. You are mistaken
The internet has drilled MANY oil wells...if you count "knowing where to drill" as any ingredient of the drilling process. You are mistaken.
The internet has planted MANY grains of wheat and corn simply by making weather data more available to all "wired" farmers.
The internet has not only harvested a single amount of grain, but has spawned an ecommerce harvesting machine through the lastest tool, eMerge which connects buyers and sellers of "CATTLE" one of the most effecient "harvesting machines of corn and wheat" ever "invented."<g>
The internet not only has baked a single loaf of bread, but it has provided the know how to make it for diabetics, people allergic to wheat or eggs.
The computer, controlled by internet/lan networks have not only "soldered a pcb" but has turned them into an assembly line function, with each one visually inspected by the JDSU UltraTech scanners for accuracy in welding etc.
Not only has the internet built a car, but it has built the prototype for each and every type part on each car or truck.
That internet software company is called Three D Systems and photolithography. You see, the engineer in San Jose creates a new CAD CAM design for say the U-joint, emails it to the Engineering department in R&D up at Kansas City where said U-Joints are fabricated. KC sends it to a 3D lithography machine, which multi-step creates the new Joint within about 2 hours, and voila...there is a CONCRETE car part to try out, affecting re-tooling decisions within days instead of "customary months" in the pre-net days.
RE: a bridge...you have me stumped on that one since I don't know squat about "building bridges" except with "worn out railroad flat-cars"...at least that is the way we do it out here on the claims<g>
I suppose I could use the net to find a surplus of railroad flat-cars which have been newly retired... |
