How relevant is a world where technology was so weak, so non-integrated? So is a review of the past a worthy endeavor? What about a student of technology? For example, you could read the story of young John Deere [2]. Consider the example of Josiah Wedgwood [3] the youngest son of a potter in England in the 1700s.

Methods are needed that focus on the customer experience, allow us to adapt to new information, and help us make decisions based on market-based evidence.
