The great thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from.
- Broad vs. Standard gauge RR tracks
- AC vs. DC
- Betamax vs. VHS
- IBM PC DOS vs. Apple
- Apple vs. Android
Yeah, this has been going on for a long time. Ever since the industrial age started. I think it's build in to DNA of economic competition.
I think it will become less so as we shift toward distributed manufacturing, 3D printers in every home, replicators, etc.
You forgot HD-DVD vs. Bluray. ;-)
And to be fair to the train industry: It's waaaaaay more complicated than broad vs. standard gauge 😂
And there's the contentious AC/DC/which voltage question as well. So, count that out. It's clearly full chaos.
@AndyLowry Yeah, I guess so... 😩
