This reminds me of a course I took in college where the professor basically tried making a case for Darwinism in technology -- that there was a kind of natural and evolutionary engine for how technology developed and was adopted over time. Which yes, I guess you could superimpose onto history and show as a logical progression. But I think it's an oversimplification and winds up ignoring all the missteps, power structures, and external factors that end up pushing us in one direction or another
