I see your point, they were massive inventions at the time, yeah maybe there’s not that much new as new models of phones get released but there’s still some improvements, good point but it does help improve, like you no longer to carry around a bulky CD player should you want to listen to music on a jog, 3D printing yeah exactly could be amazing, we will get there I feel, also don’t forget about stem cell research that could very well be a very big part of the future of medicine.
Improvements are forms of new technology though.
The automobile has been around longer than your great grandparents. They didn't have heat and didn't have radios. Now that's standard. Now thanks to technology we have smart cars.
Same with the television. Again yet another invention created a long time ago, but now are flat, less heavy and have a list of things only seen and used today. Smart TV's.
I think we need to realize any improvement can be considered a form of new technology because it is. It doesn't have to mean a brand new creation.
OH sorry. There were so many comments and I did see yours, but went with what I was thinking. I've been posting way too much today anyways! lol
She's right and you are as well.
Another great example is going to the moon (or for those who don't believe that) humans being able to leave the earth into space. Before it took a major corporation funded by the US government - NASA. Just a couple years back a business was able to launch their own plane into space. Granted that business is worth billions of dollars, well within our own lifetime watch and see space travel as your new vacation hotspot! That right there is more technology. I'd say that's pretty damn big too.
Does anyone else feel they are going too far with technology?

I use the generally recognized first smartphone by IBM in 1992.
Use apple all you want as a guide because they are hardly tearing up innovation. I-phone X??? That'd be 10 iterations. Not new.
The internet was generally considered to have come about with TCP/IP in 1983.
Do have any idea what refrigeration did for that generation, the car, phones, television.
We just moved music and movies from disks to devices.
Like I said, I will give you 3-d printing. That could turn out to be amazing but it isn't there yet.
Until then.....snore.....

Yeah exactly, that’s what I said earlier to Nikki Claire, can be classed as new and in many cases should be.
