Sobre este e-book

""Shocking Technology Facts"" unearths the captivating stories behind forgotten inventions and abandoned technologies, exploring the complex interplay of technology and history. It reveals how corporate influence, economic factors, and political forces often dictate which innovations thrive and which are suppressed. For example, some alternative energy technologies were sidelined despite their potential, while other advancements were concealed under secret patents for national security. The book uniquely focuses on the non-technical reasons behind technological abandonment, shedding light on how economic, political, and social barriers can stifle progress.

By examining specific case studies, such as devices ahead of their time that lacked the necessary manufacturing techniques, the book illustrates that technological progress isn't solely driven by scientific breakthroughs. This narrative non-fiction approach unfolds across three sections, beginning with an introduction to the concepts, delving into specific examples, and concluding with an analysis of the implications for future innovation.

Readers will gain a deeper understanding of the dynamics of innovation, the potential for rediscovering forgotten technologies, and the importance of fostering a more open and innovative environment. It provides valuable insights for entrepreneurs, policymakers, and anyone interested in the hidden side of technological development.
