Electric Lights:
“In looking back at the history of electric lights, they were first for the battleship. You brought them over and put them in the candelabra in the home, but not in the whole house. A pure substitution of parts. We were not looking at the total, the way we did total navy, looking at it as a weapons system. We didn’t have living systems; we didn’t consider what might happen if you took the highest capability of man and applied it directionally to making man a success, instead of having all these things come to him technologically second-hand from the weaponry.”
