My point is if you look at the information you see that there was no one thing that that made a real difference. They're all inter related. If there was one thing, it has to be the invention of writing, which relied on the invention of language. This made the inventions able to be shared.

and everything you say existed already thousands of years without that effect that industrialisation had. which was basically started by inventing the steam engine
