Can be applied to any new technology. This comic was made before generative AI was a thing.
As always, there's an xkcd for that....lol
To quickly further expand on my previous example with a few I thought of afterwards,
Are cruise lines as a mode of transportation still around? Cruise ships are for leisure now, but they were previously much more prevalent.
I was just pointing out that they still exist, basically they adapted and remained in business.
Idk how comparable it is, the success they had faded, the popularity decreased heavily.I wouldn't call just survival a good outcome.
I don't think many people considered taking a cruise ship for a regular passage in which the Mode of transportation wasnt a big part of the attraction (unless they are scared of flying, I guess)
There are still airships around, but they are a rare thing.
They changed their business model from a mode of transport to a mode of vacation. The profits for major cruise lines are in the billions so really it's more than surviving.
Industry adapts or changes, buggy makers become car companies, radio stations started also broadcasting TV signals, cable companies started offering Internet, and cruise lines started offering vacations rather than transportation.
As for airships, they were set back by The Hindenburg and USS Akron & Macon crashing. But they are starting to make a comeback, most are just focusing on cargo ships at the moment. It'll take time since The Hindenburg is burned into everyone's brain, but as people get used to seeing cargo blimps and larger cargo airships flying around and not crashing, they may just come to accept it and treat it like a mini cruise ship. Spend a few days flying over scenic spots and relaxing then disembark.
