  • I also disagree

    Your reply in of itself is a fallacy

    An airplane relying upon improvements engine and material design does not negate the very real revelation of human flight to the world

    Nor does your oversimplified and ultimately incorrect explanation steam engines and evolution of horse drawn vehicles

    Especially considering the first automobiles were steam powered

    It completely misses the point

    The horseless carriage itself was the innovation

    I apologize for not explaining the question more thoroughly

    I am talking about innovation in a fully realized concept

    I always thought that flying cars would be the next major leap in innovation, but it’s still in its fledgling stages


  • Not the definition I am referring to

    • introducing new ideas; original and creative in thinking.

    Conceptually, improving upon something isn’t entirely original

    It can be hard to grasp. We can’t imagine what life and the mindset of people were before a concept existed because we have always had it.

    Yes, we can imagine the difficulty of travel before the invention of aircraft

    But it’s hard for us to understand the profound difference to life and everyone’s worldview at the time

    People fantasized about human flight for what seemed like forever to them, so long that it became a fantasy that many believed would never be realized

    Then suddenly it was

    What have we experienced collectively since the 80s that is like that?
