The man who said in 1899: Everything that can be invented has been invented - technically, wasn't he right at the time?

Summary

The quote suggests that in 1899, someone argued that all possible inventions had already been created. While the sentiment may have seemed accurate considering the limitations of knowledge and technological advancement at that time, it ultimately turned out to be profoundly incorrect. The quote serves as a reminder of our fallibility and the impossibility of predicting the limitless potential of human innovation and progress.

For the ordinary man is passive. Within a narrow circle (home life, and perhaps the trade unions or local politics) he feels himself master of his fate, but against major events he is as helpless as against the elements. So far from endeavouring to influence the future, he simply lies down and lets things happen to him.
