Innovation; Are we really at the peak already?

About this time last year, I wrote a piece on EXNOVATION. It's a not-so-common word that we might mistake to be the opposite of innovation. If you want to catch up on what I discussed in the post, you can check it out here https://www.dhirubhai.net/posts/marvelous-ige-220245178_exnovate-activity-6689652184474279936-_t-S.

Of recent, however, I have been more concerned with the word innovation. Not because it's a new word to me. I think a documentary I watched on the age of the renaissance has provoked my thoughts into the word more and I just feel it would be nice to share my thought and also have your thoughts as well.?

I am obviously not here to spell out the meaning of the word innovation. I am just here to also provoke a thought in your heart, which is simply put in form of a question.?

Are we at the very height of innovation already? (Are we at the peak of innovation, so that the possible innovation that we'll see in coming years would just be a modification to that which we have already existing?

You might be wondering why exactly this question??

There's this age that we refer to in history as the age of the renaissance. It's the age that was characterised with huge discoveries in the human world. Men like Michaelangelo and Leonardo Davinci reinvented arts, and building structures. Complex building structures were innovatively designed and constructed. It was the age where people saw themselves for the first time because of the invention of the glass mirror. Before then, people could only see themselves through the light reflection on a surface of water. This was about the 14th to 16th century. Fast-forward to now, you can't only see yourself through several objects other than the mirror, you can now take a picture of yourself and have it saved till 'eternity'.

Bringing it closer within?the frame of the last fifty years, we had the advent of computers. Computers that were bigger than the size of, let's say your room. Then personal computers came in their reduced sizes and we can have them perform more functions than the computer of your room size could have. Today, our computer are in our pockets and help us with a lot of things.?

In the world of science and innovation, we can say we have really come a long way.??Gadgets and devices are now here and there for every task you can think of. Some of them are even indispensable in living a life in this century. So, looking back to the early 1900s where people lived without these gadgets and devices, we in our minds see them as?people who lived in the primitive age. All these because of the innovation that has changed our world over these few years.

So, what exactly are my thoughts?

That in the next 100 years when another generation looks at ours, will they also say we lived in a primitive age because they would possibly have more sophisticated technologies and even modes of transportation?

I'm afraid yes, because we are yet to get to the height of innovation.
