Less, the current tech space in which we are catering to the public. Even when there are new inventions, it takes decades for one of them to materialize. You could definitely work in a large research organization, do research with large funding - the research that your funders want you to do, of course. Then you can spend a few decades researching something, and maybe you can invent something new. If that would satisfy you, that's also a career option.
