About competition an Capitalism
score:2
I can't quite make out what's being asked, but if my guess about the meaning is correct, the developments in technology brought about by capitalist and/or free market competition models are in no way restricted to those driven by war needs. Some very random examples:
Original textile industry (which was the first to benefit from industrialization). Among other things it delivered was cheaper higher quality clothing for non-rich and ability to use cotton.
Latter day textile industry. Led to development of punched cards, which were a major storage technology in the first computers.
Steam engines, both for the industrial use and locomotion.
Radio (though, admittedly, both Marconi and Popov shopped their invention to their respective governments/military, it wasn't invented with purely military applications in mind). Never mind the original science behind the radio, which was developed in a fully civilian setting.
Film, photography, sound recording equipment, telephone.
For a bit of an extremely interesting, if not fully research oriented reading on the topic, I would strongly recommend Andy Kessler's "How We Got Here: A Slightly Irreverent History of Technology and Markets".
