- coldtea 10y agoWe can consider them "successful new developments" or whatever else we want. We just can't consider them important new discoveries in the sense that the creation of things like steam engine, air travel, jet engines, etc were (to stay with transportation). If you wish, the former are basically incremental engineering/efficiency improvements upon the latter. What the parent observed as lacking/slowing was non-incremental improvements.
