As is known, one of the differences between an invention and an innovation is that the former remains within the confines of its inventor's world, while the latter transcends its boundaries. For example, electric light and the internet have become innovations, so much so that they are now part of the lives of many of us who inhabit the planet. Innovation is an applied form of invention, in a socio-historical sense; it arises from certain conditions only to then overcome and even negate them. Innovation is associated with modification, transformation, dislocation, and movement—with the cultural rupture that enables other processes of subjectivation and that necessarily refers to technology and nature as new ways of being and existing in the world.
