Invention and innovation


“The root of our word invention means ‘to come upon’, while that of innovation points to something that ‘renews or makes new’. Today the relationship between things freshly come upon and things made new is taken for granted; the link between discovery in science, invention in technics, and innovation in society seems automatic.” - Winner, L., 1977. Autonomous Technology, The MIT Press., p. 73
