Where does "work" fit in the above chart?
Don't forget the marine world of GPS, radios, plotters, radars, satellite phones...much if not all can or is integrated thru a computer.

I recall a boat I worked on early in my career when electronics were still dominated by technology using vacuum tubes - really old school stuff. The direction finder used so much power the skipper would have to turn virtually everything else off lest he drain the battery. We'd use the Big Phone to pick up radio broadcasts from all over North America and the Pacific.  Wheelhouses became roomier places with transistors and smaller more compact electronics.
