I have updated the Burtonian Technology Matrix
Sorry about the tuna fish in the corner. Actually, all future sketches must have tuna fish.
Note that I have added the general flow of technologies in the matrix. I have also added two new squares, thus the matrix is no longer the obligatory 2X2 marketing matrix. The lower left hand square is the Alpha square and the upper right hand square is the Omega square. Thus the beginning and the end of technology has a place to be before it goes into the matrix.
A little Zen—I know—but you will see as we go why this is important.
You can now ad comments and let me know what you think.

I would say that this is mostly right. It is also the ideal format over time. But companies are locking down I.P’s making the omega effect almost impossible. So we possible can get a omega box or even a beta box(knock off). The beta box is become more and more common where people make similar technologies that are similar to their competitor but the code or chemical is a bit different. The thing is if the omega box actually could benefit everyone before it gets snatched by the 3 or 4 box we would have faster tech evolution. Sadly technological evolution doesn’t put money in ones pocket. lol.
