Part 3/9:
Second Order Consequences: Communication Technologies
The second consequence of electricity was the advent of communication technologies like the telegraph and telephone. These inventions transitioned from mere electricity signals to encoding information. The concept of binary—on and off—emerged, forming the basis for future advancements in data transmission.
Third Order Consequences: Electromagnetism and Motors
Building on previous innovations, the third-order consequences involved developing radio technology and electrical motors. By utilizing electromagnetic principles, we could wirelessly transmit information and power motors that drive various machines, such as electric vehicles.
