What truly life changing and innovative inventions (not modifications) are you able to list that have appeared in the last 20 years?
wiki said:By the end of 1984, Bosack and Lerner had formed Cisco Systems and begun manufacturing routers in their living room. Cisco was named after the city San Francisco. In 1986, Bosack resigned from Stanford amid allegations of impropriety to work at Cisco full time. That year, Bosack and Lerner received funding of $2.5 million from Sequoia Capital after 77 unsuccessful proposals to other venture capitalists.
Growing replacement your own human organs from your own adult stem cells for organ transplant in the USA...
Likewise Angel dust for the regenration og human limbs.....
Amazing stuff....I ashamed to admit but my wife taped Operah and it blew my mind..... In the USA they are now able to grow you a new organ, almost any small organ, eg hearts, liver , arteries etc from your own adult stme cells in as little as 3-8 weeks....
Another 70 year old bloke lost the end third of his finger in an accident....they dipped it in angel dust (some modification of stem cells) and he grew an exact replica finger within two weeks.... he has 70 year old fingers with a 2 year old finger tip in the middle.....
no rejection, no dieing on waiting lists....truly amazing......and sooon will be available mainstream.......
Without a doubt the next decades magical inventions will revolve around electronics and medical technologies....longevity looks set to exceed 120 years and the technology to support it will be amazing....
Not quite the last 20 years but close...William Yeager invented the router in 1981 and like most great inventers didn't really know what he had, it was his work mates and later Cisco system founders Leonard Bosack and wife Sandra Lerner that saw the true potential, and provided the finishing touches and eventually sold the idea to a venture capital firm to get the router into mass production.
Cisco and the technology licences it holds are now worth billions...ill quote the Wiki for there now famous story.

Was the wheel an invention? Cut a tree up in small cross sections and you have wheels.
By your standards has anything been invented? Isn't everything an adaption or modification on something we already have?
