From the meatpacking plants that inspired Henry Ford's first moving assemblyline to the domino theory that led America into Vietnam to the "bicycle for themind" that Steve Jobs envisioned as the Macintosh computer, analogies have playeda dynamic role in shaping the world around us-and still do today.
