    Technology usually evolves like this. Someone makes the initial leap and then the art is refined iteratively or when some other breakthrough becomes an enabler. I was recently reminded of the power of the wheel when moving a 400kg machine tool. It took six men to lift it but I could move it on my own using a broom handle.
