No NEW inventions or ideas for decades??

Have humans now learned everything and stopped advancing?

I dont consider self driving cars or new models of CPUs or phones as new inventions as they are just modifications of existing products.

Same A/C power since Tesla invented it. Same wireless since Tesla. Same cars since Ford. Same airplanes. Same CPUs. Same transistors. Same rocket engines. Same robots. etc, etc, etc,

Yes, they all have gotten more perfected over time but nothing is new.

Great but these things often collapse in testing and never become widespread technology. That University will play around with it for 20 years and then decide it is not worth using.

Tesla conceived and invented A/C power by himself in less than 3 years before 1900. We are still using his invention and power grid in 2017.

stirling engines run on heat. any heat source will do

No NEW inventions or ideas for decades??

:rere23:

There's this wondeful newfangled thing called a search engine: [link to www.google.nl (secure)]

You nailed it there.

End of innovation and growth and humans are dumber than before.

Every one of their "new" inventions are simply modifications to existing tech.

Hardly merit being called inventions. LOL.

So you analysed tens of thousands of innovations for novelty in just a few hours.
You must be a genius.


We have machines now that we can not only talk to but they talk back.
We have self-cleaning surfaces.
We can create new lifeforms.
The world has changed drastically since 1990, you just didn't notice because you weren't actually paying attention.

Nothing new magically appears out of thin air. There has to be progress to get there.

Wheel.. Push car.. crank car.. steam car.. gas car.. electric car.. automated car..

This is called "technological evolution".

blockchain

I looked at your link, it says 25 inventions from last year?

Also, OP is referencing BIG things. Power plants, combustion engines in every vehicle, etc. You are counting gimmicks or extremely rare things. Read the thread, people are asking for anti gravity, ion engines, things that actually replace 100 year old tech, not just rehash it.

lol, you just proved them right, your response was literally: wheel, car, car, car, car, car, car

Andy no anti gravity car.

It says: "About 233.000.000 results (0,38 seconds)"


But there are plenty of things that we can do now that nobody could do in 1918.
Or do you think the internet is merely an electrified library?

"New" or just different modifications of existing products? Is there a "new" power source? "New" propulsion system? "New" anti gravity?

You must look at the CORE of the "invention." The CORE of the internet is the microchip. The same microchip developed in the 50s.

That's nonsense.
You could have an internet based on mechanical calculators and telegraphs.
The core idea of the internet is to combine telecom networks with information processing devices.
That was a new and world-changing idea.

And since the internet came about a zillion software packages have been invented to utilise the new possibilities.

How incredibly jaded must one be to live in a world with self-driving cars and reusable spacecraft and smart materials and self-cleaning toilets to claim that there is no inventiveness.

The Internet?

When computers first came out, they were the size of rooms (hold that thought):
and see what the Internet has done to corporate society ! ! !

There are many new inventions, but they cannot be used, because they will put massive, world corporations out of business.
Same thing with medicine etc. Corporation and Medical Mafia
likes things the way they are. If you try to push your product, they will kill you, if they have to, to stop you.
Here is just, one tiny example:
You could safely run your house's energy needs with a nuclear apparatus the size of a dime. That would end the electric company, gas company, oil company, deadly, dangerous, Nuclear plants etc.

Synthetic revasterol. People are going to live to 300 and not get cancer. Watch the billionaires and see who is not growing old.
