"The point of all this history is that when we see something from the past like air conditioning or electric space heating gain wide consumer acceptance, it's easy to assume that the technology simply got better. People wanted it! Consumers, surveying the scene, simply picked the best available solution. We discount the lobbying and strategy of the firms as well as government's involvement and ascribe all the adoption to 'technological improvement.'"
