The Speed Ceiling


Everything that's possible is determined by the speed it is met with. Speed leads to adaptation. In the beginning of the 19th century, the possibilities were constrained by distance. Nothing moved faster than the speed of a horse. The greater the distance a horse needed to travel, the slower a response. No person, good, letter, information, or idea could move at a greater speed than what a horse could. With the invention of new innovations came new possibilities due to the increase in the speed at which things could move. Ideas rapidly evolved from the instantaneous speeds of the telegram. Society expanded from the invention of cars and roadways. The field of possibility and potential is controlled by the speed of transmission. Speed is the ultimate obstacle.
