What commonalities does product innovation share with cats, you ask? Well, it's not as far fetched as one might think. It's an interesting juxtaposition of old versus new.
With their enormous, deadly-sharp canines, saber-toothed carnivores are well known to many. Surprisingly, there is more than one "saber-toothed cat."
Although innovative technology has been present since ancient times, our focus for this post is on World War 1 Technology.
The Atlantic Magazine just posted a page of pictures of World War 1 Technology, find it here.
Many of these pictures show old designs that paved the way for the future.
For example, the first picture (in the article link), called an "acoustic locator" -- was a predecessor to sonar.
