I really can’t tell if you’re being obtuse? Since this is getting really silly..
The only reason I mentioned fax is because that’s a thing that only became widespread after all innovation had supposedly stopped. BUT it already has been obsolete for decades and replaced by more advanced technologies.

That’s like saying that there wasn’t much innovation in the late 1800s besides electricity.. Yes if you exclude the area there has been the most progress in your point might have some very superficial merit
Computers and internet transformed plenty of those devices that were apparently already perfected by the 70s.
Except devices like TVs have almost nothing in common with their equivalent from back then besides the name and the fact that they show pictures. So television and CRTs weren’t real inventions either? They are basically the same thing as film projectors and those were a thing back in the 1890s. Really if we think about it almost nothing worth mentioning was invented after 1899..
