As we dig into these, I'd argue now that innovation has INCREASED versus the times you mention. Here's one: We're talking on a global platform where people send one to many text messages. Or we have another where a course on ANYTHING is available for free (Youtube).

I could go on and on. My premise is that we're living in a world of innovation -- but we have a psychological bias that we are in it so we don't realize what's happening. The proverbial "boiling versus scalded frog."

That’s a good point but you’d agree that hardware innovation has majorly slowed right?

How so? We have: exoskletons for cheap (See @trexorobotics) iphones robotic warehouses cheap solar and a bonus one: no airplane crashes in the US in decades. I'd argue it's just as much in hardware innovation.

Something that was invented before becoming cheaper an innovation, unless there was a major drop. AFAIK there has not been for solar. China coming online isn't really innovation. iPhones are cool, for sure. Same with robotic warehouses. Still think innovation has slowed.
