I think these examples are not suitable. Technological developments of companies subject to innovation pressure because of the need for financial growth within capitalist economies. Technological innovations will also prevail if they lead to (what the elevator example alludes) a generally recognizable value. In both cases, one can speak of a pressure to innovation. This is exactly the reason why I wrote: "... a resist audience without *CONSTRAINT*". You can easily see the validity of my argument if you take into consideration how much companies of a certain size are dealing with innovation problems. This is because the financial security of these companies compensates for the pressure to innovation so that the human aspect I noted take more attention.
