Technological Paradigms and Technological Trajectories

Technological paradigms are the dominant ways of thinking and approaches within a field of technology that shape innovation. They represent established practices, techniques, and beliefs that guide how technology is developed and used. Technological trajectories, on the other hand, refer to the patterns or paths of technological advancement and evolution over time. Together, these concepts help us understand how new technologies emerge, compete, and evolve within a framework of established norms and practices, influencing industries and societies in the process.
