Redirected from Invented

An invention is a novel device or technique.

One question that society often asks is, "What conditions lead to the development of an invention?" There are two main opposing viewpoints on this; one school of thought argues that a lack of resources leads people to invent, whereas, the other school of thought argues that only an excess of resources will result in inventions.

See the Timeline of invention for a detailed list of inventions, listed by date of invention.
