I'd appreciate it if you could help me
I'm the best. That's what I thought. Until he came along. And he's already caught up with me. I'll be overtaken in no time. It's a losing game anyway, so let's give it one last shot!
One technology will one day become obsolete and be replaced by a new one. At the beginning of the 19th century, steamships were invented and popularized. Unlike sailboats, which had been propelled by the wind, steamships were less susceptible to weather conditions and could achieve a steady speed. It was only a matter of time before sailing ships would be replaced by steamships.
Under such circumstances, sailboats achieved their final evolution.The technology that had been accumulated up to that point was brought together to create the high-speed sailing ship (clipper). The clipper was a sailing ship that pursued speed to the utmost, with a narrower, longer hull, higher sails, and twice the sail area to better catch the force of the wind.--------Ordinary sailing ships of the time were capable of speeds of about 11 km/h, but the Clipper achieved an astonishing average speed of 34 km/h. Steamboats, which were still slow at the time, could not even compete.The clipper was the last bright spot in the long history of sailing ships. This phenomenon is called the sailing ship effect.
The image above is a clipper called the Cutty Sark. You may know it as the name of the whiskey. The middle of the whiskey label in the image below shows the Cutty Sark.
The sailing ship effect has occurred and will continue to occur in many other things besides sailing ships. In modern times, there is the gas stove. Gas stoves are now being replaced by electric stoves. And in recent years, the performance and ease of use of gas stoves has improved dramatically.Finally, in my fantasy, I wonder if TV, which is about to be replaced by YouTube, will finally do something about it due to the sailboat effect. I think so.
