Technology evolution laws are as objective and rigorous as the laws of nature. Knowing these laws allows forecasting the evolution directions of engineering systems and objects and evaluating new ideas. Evolution trends are a more specific case. Identified laws of evolution of specific systems allow one trace "lines" of their evolution. An engineering system may evolve in several directions simultaneously. In this case we speak about the "evolution tree" which is composed of several lines.
