Technology and Innovation

1. What does innovation require? Can you give an example of product or process.

“Innovation requires not only creative people and organizations, but also the availability of technology and science and engineering talent.” For example, the LHC couldn’t have been done in the past because we didn’t have the technology and the knowledge required. Also, without creative and intelligent persons that machine couldn’t have been done.

2. "Technology and innovation are synergistic." Could you explain this idea in your own words.

Synergistic means that the outcome is greater than the two things separately. In this case, the outcome of technology and innovation is greater that the technology and the innovation alone.

3. Give an example of two other concepts which you consider synergistic.

- The letters are synergistic. Having a lot of letters alone isn’t the same as having words or paragraphs, witch are compound of letters.
- The car is synergistic. Having a motor, some wheels, sits, is less than having a car, witch has all that things.
