An important distinction is normally made between invention and innovation. Invention is the first occurrence of an idea
for a new product or process, while innovation is the first attempt to carry it out in practice. Sometimes, invention and
innovation are closely linked, to the extent that it is hard to distinguish one from another (biotechnology for instance). In
many cases, however, there is a considerable time lag between the two. In fact, a lag of several decades or more is not
uncommon. Such lags reflect many different requirements for working out ideas and implementing them. While
inventions may be carried out anywhere, for example in universities, innovations occur mostly in firms, though they may
also occur in other types of organizations, such as public hospitals. To be able to turn an invention into an innovation, a
firm normally needs to combine several different types of knowledge, capabilities, skills, and resources. For instance, the
firm may require production knowledge, skills and facilities, market knowledge, a well-functioning distribution system,
sufficient financial resources, and so on. It follows that the role of the innovator, the person or organizational unit
responsible for combining the factors necessary (what the innovation theorist Joseph Schumpeter called the
"entrepreneur"), may be quite different from that of the inventor. Indeed, history is replete with cases in which the
inventor of major technological advances fails to reap the profits from his breakthroughs.
Long lags between invention and innovation may have to do with the fact that, in many cases, some or all of the
conditions for commercialization may be lacking. There may not be a sufficient need yet or it may be impossible to
produce and/or market because some vital inputs or complementary factors are not yet available. Thus, although Leonardo
da Vinci is reported to have had some quite advanced ideas for a flying machine, these were impossible to carry out in
practice due to a lack of adequate material, production skills, and - above all - a power source. In fact, the realization of
these ideas had to wait for the invention and subsequent commercialization (and improvement) of the internal combustion
engine. Hence, as this example shows, many inventions require complementary inventions and innovations to succeed at
the innovation stage.
Another complicating factor is that invention and innovation is a continuous process. For instance, the car as we know it
today is radically improved compared to the first commercial models, due to the incorporation of a very large number of
different inventions/innovations. In fact, the first versions of virtually all significant innovations, from the steam engine to
the airplane, were crude, unreliable versions of the devices that eventually diffused widely. Kline and Rosenberg, in an
influential paper, point out:
It is a serious mistake to treat an innovation as if it were a well-defined homogenous thing that could be identified as
entering the economy at a precise date or becoming available at a precise point in time. The fact is that most important
innovations go through drastic changes in their lifetimes - changes that may, and often do, totally transform their
economic significance. The subsequent improvements in an invention after its first introduction may be vastly more
important, economically, than the initial availability of the invention in its original form. Thus, what we think of as a
single innovation is often the result of a lengthy process involving many interrelated innovations.
(Adapted from Cambridge Academic English Advanced by Martin Hewings and Craig Thaine)

There are very few people today who would disagree with the opinion that the mass media have a powerful influence on
shaping life in the modern world. However, the introduction of Mass Media Studies in American schools and universities
was opposed by some people. Many educators were worried that the focus in this new academic subject would be on less
important matters, such as rumours or gossip concerning movie stars and what are now known as celebrities. However, it
is the responsible behaviour of curriculum designers and teachers which has largely prevented such a development. The
emphasis has been on how television, the press and the new technologies are organised and controlled.
Film Studies, which is a branch of Media Studies, is a very popular optional course as motion pictures are particularly
interesting to teenagers and college students. Apart from describing the way the Hollywood studios make movies, the
course also includes general principles about movie making. The increasing availability of reasonably priced, light digital
cameras, and access to Internet sites, such as YouTube, has made it cheaper and easier to produce movies and to find
viewers for the movie.
In a world where young people are repeatedly criticised for lack of imagination and lack of independence, the ability to
understand how society works and a chance to become actively involved in the world, are important benefits which come
from having Media Studies on school and college curricula.
(Adapted from Traveller Level B1+ by H.Q.Mitchell)
