Description

"Innovation". One of the most widely used words in engineering but perhaps also the least understood. If innovation just meant "improvement", it would be a boring word. Then it would only be about improving what has already been thought of. The Nipkow television marked the start of a new era. Colour television was only first not possible and later it could be. That improvement was predictable from the start. Robots have been around for a long time. Can we expect only improvements from now on, or are there technical developments that make the future unpredictable again after all?
