Why has humanity failed to innovate in the past decade?
robryan: As a society we put a lot of effort at the moment into incremental improvement rather than completely new innovation.When TV, Cars, Computers, The Internet were invented they were all breaking new ground in innovation because they were big areas that helped with life.Now I think more smart people look at the way things are and can't see as many obvious things missing, so instead choose to incrementally improve what we have, either that or the goal is very ambitious and puts people off attempting, such as manned spaceflight beyond low earth orbit and a cure for cancer ect
