This document discusses the history of innovation from Johannes Gutenberg's printing press in the 15th century to present day simulation technologies. It notes how each new innovation challenged established knowledge and changed expected values, representing "creative destruction." The document concludes by suggesting this "creative destruction" is currently happening within the simulation field through new technologies like serious games, cloud computing and web-based simulation tools.
