I was discussing something similar with a co worker yesterday (if this is what you are referring to)…she was asking why in todays world we do not seem to have any great inventors, on the level of Tesla, Einstein, Bell, etc. Back in the years these guys were alive, they were coming out with things that would change the world, they were groudbreaking, nothing like it had been seen before.
I realize we have some new things today, but not even comparable to the stuff guys like this were coming out with. Sort of seems like we have hit a plateau, or maybe the further the world gets away from God, the less creativity/ innovation the world sees?
