a century or two before the Industrial Revolution, most technology was small-scale technology. But most of the technology developed since the Indus- trial Revolution is organization-dependent technology. Take the refrigerator for example. Without factory-made parts or the facilities of a post-industrial machine shop it would be virtually impossible for a handful of local craftsmen to build a refrigerator.
