Innovation creates change then social tension


Regardless how innovation is created it will create change. In the characteristics section I try to go more into the specifics of this dynamic.

This dynamic leads to social tension because there will always be a portion of the society that will hate the change. The roots of this hate can be uncertainty or something similar.

The social tension can manifest itself in anything from a conservation movement, to political conservatism, to anarchistic resistance.

The point being that social upheaval caused by innovation are unavoidable.

But the tension can be minimized through an understanding of the innovation process.
