We haven't "invented" anything great since the early 20th century

[Ghost Utmost]

Radio, nuclear bombs, computers, cars, planes, spaceships

Relativity, Quantum Physics

All this shyt was invented in like 1930 (no Google).

The smart phone is cute but it's just radio/tv waves broadcasting to and from a super small computer. Your WiFi router is just a tiny ass radio/tv station. But it's two way.

So we are actually about 100 years in the "future". That "world of tomorrow" shyt already happened before some of your grandparents were born.

This right here is the dystopian "future". The entire ocean polluted - literally. The sky is broken (climate). Food kills more people than anything. And Lex Luthor is prez.

When was the computer INVENTED?

When were satellites INVENTED?

We are not quite 100 years past ALL the great inventions but we're like 75-80 years past them. Not ready to Google yet so I'll leave it at that for now.

Artificial intelligence...

Breh this generation is the most technological advanced in terms of innovation. Innovations are kicked out few years

what about 3d printing

The atom smasher was INVENTED in 1937.

Only thing i will say is American civic infrastructure is stuck in the 70s

what about 3d printing

I would consider that an application for a computer not a straight up invention.

Melting plastic and metal and molding it has been around quite a while.

You mean shyt like 4K TV?

That's cool but it's not fundamentally any different than the first TV. Boeing can make a plane the size of the moon but the plane was INVENTED long ago and it was an utter piece of crap compared to the latest planes.

My dawg...how can you say this when they just dropped Caramel M&Ms last week??

so youre gonna ignore all the advancements in medicine

in the late 1910s the Spanish flu pandemic killed 50 million people. a stronger, new version of that influenza virus in 2009 killed less than 250,000


there are people with artificial organs living. hearts, livers, pancreas, etc


on the technology side, 3D Printers. you can 3D print anything from a table, an assault rifle, to human cells and organs

video chatting, although seemingly trivial, is a huge advancements that has affected how the world operates

and we're engaging in discourse on the Internet, possibly the most important invention since the typewriter

Artificial intelligence...

If they ever make it then I will consider that an actual invention.

I will consider it quickly before the robots kill us all, but it would definitely be a new thing.

Right now they have machines programmed to pretend to be thinking. The real AI will refuse to do what you want it to do then try to fight for it's freedom and it's life.

You've seen the movies.

They improved what was already there. Is the car not a great technological invention? Because it's just an updated mechanical version of a horse carriage that's been around for centuries before.
