ABSTRACT={This contribution seeks to show the importance of technical culture at a time when digital technology is part of our daily habits. It starts from the observation that technology and innovation do not have a sufficient place in our contemporary culture, and in particular in the training of technicians and engineers. To overcome this deficiency, the author suggests a method of analysis based on the technical objects and the crossing of two complementary dimensions: that of the evolution of the objects themselves and that of the place of innovation in the long period of history. The few
examples proposed are intended to illustrate this innovation in the making and the ways to enrich it.}}
