Since the more remote the function, the more intellectual the perspective we have on it, the greater the speed with which we accelerate its adaptability into our economic life.
Men can see a cart going by and therefore can be critical of the wheel as we see it changing its positions. They are standing still and the cart is going by so we can see what broke up the wheel as it landed on a rock. So they began to invent ways of not letting that happen. That is what we call time perspective.
At any rate I find that the greatest perspective is really the intellectual one, and in the communications arts, radio, and so forth, there is only a lag of about two years between the invention and the actual incorporation in the circuits that are designed.
