过去50年其实并不是发明创新的黄金时期。从1900年到 1950年，改变人类生活的发明有汽车、飞机、电话、收音机、 电视机——当然还有核武器和计算机。而近50年来，只有为 数不多的发明。难道发明的源泉已经枯竭了吗？答案并非如 此。事实上，发明的新时代刚刚开始。 Actually the last fifty years was not the golden age of invention and innovation. From 1900 to 1950, human life was transformed by such invention as cars, aeroplanes, telephones, radios and television sets, not to mention nuclear weapons and the computer of course. In the recent 50 years since only a few inventions have been made, was the wellspring of invention drying up? Not likely. Indeed, a new age of invention is just beginning.
