The examples of xerography, jet engines, mathematics of fuzzy logic, and MP3 format illustrate that:
A)Invention always precedes innovation
B)Financial resources are critical to introduce successful innovations
C)The innovation cycle has speeded up over time
D)Innovation never stops over time

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The examples provided illustrate that the innovation cycle has speeded up over time. Xerography was developed in the 1930s but was not widely adopted until the 1960s, whereas the MP3 format was developed in the 1990s and became popular within a few years. Fuzzy logic was developed in the 1960s, but its practical applications have only increased in recent years. Jet engines were invented in the 1930s, but their continual improvement and innovation has resulted in their widespread use today. The examples show that innovations are being developed and adopted at a faster pace than in the past.
