Key technologies — chasing the gap

Abstract

The title of this paper may seem somewhat unusual, as it poses the question, what is a ‘key technology’, and what gaps are being chased? A recurring theme in research such as this is the need to define words or concepts. One of the first tasks was to define ‘key technology’. To arrive at a helpful definition, the whole subject of ‘technology’ was looked at in some depth.
