Technologies as a infinite combination of themself

If new technologies were constructed from existing ones, then considered collectively, technology created ifself.
I also began to see that the economy was not so much a container for its technologies, as I had been implicitly taught. The economy arose from its technologies. It arose from its productive methods and legal and organizational arrangements that we use to satisfy our needs.
