Path Dependence In Technology

Path Dependence in Technology is a theoretical construct within the study of technological change that explains how the set of decisions available in the present is constrained by historical technological choices, institutional arrangements, and socio-technical feedbacks, such that early, often contingent events disproportionately shape long-term innovation trajectories and lock societies into specific technological systems.
