Technological Innovation as an Evolutionary Process

 

A social discourse on technology innovation has occurred in various settings.  One of those setting was a discourse that occurred between 1993 and 2000. 

 

Isn’t technology innovation rather like biological evolution? …  Quite clearly, this inquiry could not be confined to a single academic discipline.  Back generously by the Renaissance trust, we conjured up The Epistemology Group, a market-place for ideas about the Evolution of Knowledge and Invention.  Scholars from different intellectual traditions debated these in a series of informal seminars (1994-95, at the Royal Society of Arts in London), presented some of their findings in a public Forum (June 1996, at the London School of Economics), and hammered them out together at an International Workshop (January 1997, at Goring, Oxfordshire).
