lol...
The only way you would need a computer in your car is if you have the following:
Fuel injection.
Speed density. (emission control)
o2 sensors (emission control)
You don't need a computer to to have power steering.
It can be on a switch.
Automatic transmission doesn't need a computer...
electric starting works from a distributor which has a rotating cup on the top that catches sparks and sends them to spark plugs that ignite the fuel to run your engine.
What you're trying to say it, that our country was developmentally inept in times that there were no computers or cellphone technology.
If transportation wasn't important, Columbus wouldn't have discovered the Americas (the Indians are only a side factor)
So you have land / water / air..
all MOTOR DRIVEN NOT BY COMPUTERS accessible to you.
Stop yourself now.
You're not smart enough for me to continue.
thats not even close to what im saying. every modern form of transportation (except the car which, though i pointed out, did not say it was dependent on comps. the transmission is the biggest thing because to my knowledge the two types of automatic transmission include one guided by a computer and the other using some type of fluidics mechanism. though i doubt many new cars dont take control of the computer model since its much more efficient)
yes cars are nice, but are they one hundred percent man made? lol no, their parts are made by machines guided by what again? oh thats right computers. i am well aware we were fine in the 60's and 70's when there was no such thing as a computer but here in the 21st century the most useful thing we use is a computer
whats the best form of communication?
a telephone call/text msg across the world? uses satallites that use computers.
webcam, email, im? thats used through a computer
wanna go to hawaii and not be sailing for a week? use a plane that is guided by computers
want the best navy in the world? get a fleet of aircraft carriers carrying planes that rely on computers, and ships witht he most advanced defensive and offensive capabilities utilizing... wait for it... COMPUTERS.
see the pattern? our world was full of primative things utilizing a very easily contained, gathered, and efficient fuel.
but what happens when this fuel runs out? think well still be able to live without computers? i do not.
