Why so little innovation?
"... Just what kinds of innovation are people looking for that they're not getting? ..."
- Data storage: Ways for people, companies to store data for perpetuity
- Power: cheap, pollution free way to generate personal power
- Water: cheap, pollution free way to clean water for drinking
The list can go on.
"... And further, what innovations from decades ago are we still relying on today and not innovating through? ..."
Lets see: operating systems (Linux, Max OSX, Windows), GUI's (Windows), keyboards and other input hardware. These are the tools we use each day and would be recognisable to people who programmed at the cutting edge in say '76, 77. Transportation is another. Inefficient engines that emit noxious gasses
