Everything that can be invented has already been invented.

Do you agree that Everything that can be invented has already been invented? In my part, my answer is no. What do you think? And why?

I don't agree with this. Because we can't tell something about the future. Everyone can invent something unique. We can discover something that will lead us to some changes. If that discovery is meant for us to discover then we still can invent something. Just like Isaac Newton, he was just sitting under an apple tree when he discovered the gravity then because of that, lots of invention and theories came up.

I would have to say no. If there were never any new invetions then the world would become stagnant and improvements would never be made. New technology and new inventions keep up with our ever changing times and life styles. I only wish that I could come up with a new invention that everyone would need and that I could make my fortunes off of. LOL

There will never be a time in which everything that can be invented will have been invented. While a problem - whether it's on a large or small scale - exists, there will always be an inventor who attempts to find a solution for it. People are always wanting to do things with greater ease and increased speed, as well; so the ability to take something good and make it great will also ensure that the lifespan of inventing is an inexaustible one. I believe that a representative of the US Patents Office once made the claim that everything that could be invented had been invented. I also believe that it was long before space shuttles, electric vehicles and cd players had leapt from the pages of science-fiction comics. (And I'm still waiting for the flying car to hit the marketplace, after all.)

Nope, I don't think that statement is true. New things are made every day. Unless you want to go by the theory that anything created is just a new arrangement of old materials...

Most answers, including mine are no. except for one. Cj's. LOL.

I would have to say No. The human mind's creativity knows no bounds. When Leonardo Da Vinci drew his flying machine diagrams, people made fun of him. Then the Wright brothers go and create the aeroplane. We can't really foresee what is coming, but new things will always come. This will keep happening till humanity itself will come to an end and that is a different story. Have a great day

Surely, no. Inventions continue to be there as long as research in science, technology are existing, something new will always crop up, for good or bad for the humanity. I am sure many discoveies do not get into main stream for several reasons. But when they do come, further developments take place to give scope for new inventions. This is a never ending process.

I think that technology is increasingly getting better and better as it becomes more refined. People are constantly trying to do the new best thing and advance themselves, along with society. People are constantly making new things and putting patents on them. Hopefully one day someone will create a teleportation machine, so that people can instantaneously travel, even across the globe. =)

I know why you want a teleportation device. ;)
