Producers really are slaves to their consumers. Destruction & Production can be called Power & Market. Technology like the printing press was initially feared. It would put scribes out of business. Technology describes each generation in our human-built world.

Entrepreneurs emulate and compete in the market, improving in small steps existing production. Patents and regulations restrict the free flow of information.
