The article deals with the resource technology from the perspective of innovation and revolution. It should be noted that there is no very wellfounded domain-specific innovation research. Most of the contributions
are of a very small-scale nature, scattered and difficult to find in different publication organs; the few exceptions identified are the larger works by Dogruel and Schüller. An unmanageable number of contributions, however, deal with technology and the changes and innovations of this resource in the form of “revolutionary histories”; specifically, media revolutions, communication revolutions, or digital revolutions are discussed. The now louder criticism of these sometimes under-complex, theory-poor, and often technology-deterministic narratives along supposed fractures is taken as an opportunity not to tell a from-
Gutenberg-to-Berners-Lee story. Instead, selected ways of categorizing techniques from different disciplines are presented. They can help to raise the discussion of technology in and for the media industry to a higher level of abstraction.
