Inbreeding

I kinda thought using the first vaccine and the most current vaccine in my explanation would infer that I am aware of the difference

The question is meant to be more conceptually overarching and abstract

If the innovation is the airplane then it doesn’t matter if it’s an old timey biplane or or a next generation stealth fighter

If the the innovation is the vaccine then it doesn’t matter if it’s a smallpox vaccine or an mRNA vaccine

It doesn’t seem like you’re understanding what I’m saying much at all.

By your definition everything is innovative

Maybe that in of itself is the problem here, equating the words innovative and invention.

Try replacing innovative with groundbreaking or original perhaps

But saying that advent of aviation and automobiles is just bikes and trains with wings or more wheels kinda goes to prove a lack of arguing in good faith here

I am also thankful that my children were born in this era as well

There has been significant progress in the treatment of cystic fibrosis

Still not the kind of innovation I am talking about

I don’t see very many humans naturally flapping their arms flying around very often

There was that one guy, but I’d say it was more falling with style than flying

… and he didn’t stick the landing

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?

Yes, we’ve certainly progressed in nearly every field

But are they truly innovative or are they a natural evolution of something that already existed?

I agree, they most certainly did say mRNA

I recall having vaccines in the 80s, probably what saved me from polio

Same could be said about everything we have though couldn’t it?

Cars, aircraft, boats… All improved significantly…

But is any of it truly innovative?

I’ve seen this happen on reddit so many times over the years

Because it was Obama so it has to be bad

That’s as far as the rationale goes

Just pay your 50% federal sales tax on everything

It’s near impossible to live without anymore

All of our bills are paid online, our kids’ teachers communicate with us through apps, the school has its own app for communicating events and closures

Even just ordering fast food is done through apps. It’s still an option to order in person, but won’t be able to get special deals or earn points without their app.

My TV even works best with an app instead of just a regular remote

It’s never lost on me when there is an annoyingly loud commercial but I can’t mute the TV because the app is updating and restarting

Never thought I would one day be telling people to “hold on my remote control is updating and restarting”

What a time to be alive

I’d be so embarrassed

Murdering starts promptly at 8:00 in the morning

I’m assuming that’s local time, the note isn’t very specific

It’s ok, it’s really not putting me off of my Lemmy experience.

After being on reddit for over 10 years, in the grand scheme of things video only recently became functional before the entire site became unusable

I’m here for the long haul with the understanding that things will inevitably get better over time

I’m using Sync, so I cannot rule out that these problems originate there

Yes.
