Vannevar's Law (Caroline Era)

Vannevar's Law is named after the mid-twentieth century engineer, Vannevar Bush, named after his first name because Bush's Law refers to the discredited supply-side economic policy pursued in the United States of America  and the United Kingdom in the last few years of the New Elizabethan Era. It states the following:

"Information Technology develops linearly and incrementally and specialisms tend to be isolated. Revolutions and competition are rare".

The rate of progress in IT is sometimes contrasted with that in space-related industries, where progress is seen as exponential, frequently revolutionary and highly competitive.
