Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Discontinuous change in an innovation stream is characterized by technological substitution, which is the introduction of a new technology that fundamentally changes the way things are done and often replaces the old technology completely. Synergy refers to the interaction of multiple elements that produce a combined effect greater than the sum of their separate effects, and is not necessarily related to discontinuous change. Incremental change involves small improvements or modifications to existing technology, and empathetic design relates to understanding and addressing the needs and feelings of users in the design process, neither of which are inherent to discontinuous change.
