Talk: Invention

From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.

How about some older inventions, like the plow, the stirrup, the aqueduct, the arch? They certainly revolutionized the societies of their times. Does agriculture count as an invention? Surely it would be one of the earliest influential ones, right up there with stone tools... -- April

Great idea: I'll put them in. The Anome

I don't think that the 'parachute:powered flight' analogy is the best. Granted we now use parachutes *most* with powered flight, but it was primarily a way to get close to flight, or for base jumping (for a more modern term). They weren't designed to be airplane survival systems. In fact, WWI was notorious for pilots not having parachutes (even if they had been previously designed).

I have got some problems with the definition of innovation and invention. If there is no need for application for an innovation, what is than the distinction with invention? In this definition, innovation and invention are the same. I would like to use Schumpeters definitions here, with the remark that an other school looks at it a different way. --MaxB 12:55, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC)
