Open full text 63 citations

Abstract

The theorem of not independence of any technological innovation states that in the long run, the behavior and evolution of any technological innovation is not independent from the behavior and evolution of the other technological innovations. In particular, any technological innovation does not function as an independent system per se , but each innovation depends on the other technological innovations to form a complex system of parts that interact and coevolve in a non-simple way. The theorem of not independence of any technological innovation can explain and generalize, whenever possible, one of the characteristics of the evolution of technology that generates technological and economic change in human society. Keywords. Evolution of technology, Technological innovation, Technological evolution, Radical innovations, Technological systems, Technological dependence, Fundamental interaction, Complex systems, Technological change. JEL. C00, O30, O33.
