At the core of innovation is usefulness. It provides us with new ways of operating and organizing or greater, more effective ways of doing the old. The impact on our lives is enabling us to do more work—to be more productive. Innovation makes the world more orderly and less random but infinitely more complex. Because of this, we become more specialized in what we produce and more diversified in what we consume. Self-sufficiency is traded for mutually beneficial collaboration. As a result, the world gets more output through the interdependence needed to support the knowledge of progress.
