driving on different sides of the road

[edit]

The section about driving on different sides of the road should be removed as it is invalid. The initial choice was not accidential, the two sides are not technically equivalent, not all countries that were in the British Empire drive on the left and not all countries that drove on the left were in the British Empire, and it has been proven that countries can change sides in modern times if the will is there.

path-dependence and motors

[edit]

Apart from the VCRs example, I think something could be said about path-dependence and motors. Many people think path-dependence is behind low development of electric motors and high development of gasoline motors and not-so-high development of diesel motors. Even more, path-dependence and QWERTY effects are related.

Where's W. Brian Arthur and his works?

[edit]

It is a shame that the name is not even mentioned. - Onlooker - 17 Apr 2006
