Is the digital age unavoidable or no? If it is what would the impact of it not happening or being set back greatly have on history afterwards? Isn’t the advances in computers and microchips pretty separate from most industrial and atomic age technology at its roots? Would advances in technology focus more on machinery and atomic power in this pod? Technology advancement seems like it is pretty steady and forward moving once the industrial revolution takes off but when reading about advances in micro and computer technology it seemed more random or separate from other fields. Science isn’t my strongest field so I would like to know is the digital age a given or no? If no what impact on culture and economics does this have on the world especially the US and Europe?
