During the nineteenth century, ice was harvested from lakes, stored in caves to limit its melting and transported as perishable goods. The technology evolved incrementally throughout several decades; the growth and harvesting processes became more efficient as new tools and techniques were applied, the storage benefited from creativity, and the packaging to retain the cold in the ships also improved. But in the early part of twentieth century, a revolutionary technology, refrigerator plunged into the industry. Since then, the largest improvements in ice-based cooling technology took place.

From the case above answer the following questions:

1. List out the operation processes that are obsolete after the technology evolves in?

2. Considering the three types of innovation, from the case above identify what is the generic types of innovation and explain what effect to the industry it could made?
