Abstract
We describe the innovation environment that has limited the onset of innovations in technology, choosing as an example the use of fractals in electronics. There is a considerable time delay between the production of these innovations and their widespread implementation with end-users; this delay is typical in innovation; underlying and predictable pitfalls in the adoption process are inherent to the progress of innovation through a “tortuous path.” The paradox of rapid adoption in pure science and math versus delay in practical applications should be considered a normal aspect of innovation in fractal technology.
