Quantum Computing? Nano-scale material manufacturing (looking at you graphene). I even heard from some previous customers that getting their hands on this stuff, even with real money, is nearly impossible.
I wonder if not just the speed of inventions is down but if things are being suppressed? They sure have not stopped but it is nothing like the speed of advances from before.
The proposal is from 60s. Started from "quantum coding" of 1968. All we have now is just techological improvements without any useful results.
F.e. from idea of laser to the mass manufacturing and usage less than a decade passed.
Nano-scale material manufacturing (looking at you graphene).
Humanity using nano-scale materials from the ancient times. Concrete is nano-scale material made with use of cement nano-particles. Artists using pencils create pictures from graphene nano-particles for millenia. And so on. Just there was no need to use that stupid marketing bullshit.

So name me one that did not yet exist in one or another form before 70s.
So I'm confused, forgive me English is not my native language. Are you talking only conceptual things that in no form have ever been done even if tangentially related since the 1970s?
Exactly. F.e. beforementioned laser does not exist even in the form of concept or idea before 1954. In mid-60s we already had mass-manufacturing of things that use lasers for one ot another purpose. And that change nearly everything. That is how important inventions or discoveries work. Something that was completely unknown yesterday, change everything around soon after discovery.
You will not find something similar after 70s, despite all technological advances that should make doing such discoveries/inventions much easier. But there is absolutely nothing since 70s. No any device, principle, whatever, that could be named real game changer. No new engines, power sources, tools based on new principles, etc.
Even if you will try hard and allow very far-stretched assumptions, the only thing of similar importance you could find is an idea of 3D-printer. Importance is in that it allowed to create physical parts that was impossible to create using other methods of manufacturing.
I do not think I can explain well enough to justify something. To me, your definition would suggest that lasers are little more than focused light, which I think the Greeks are famous for reflecting and amplifying sunlight.
I was thinking additive manufacturing but that is just a revolution of the existing concept of subtractive manufacturing so that should not count either.
I will withdraw from this discuss since I think I have hit my conceptual wall of English.
