We ran out of things we need about the time we learned how to filter water and grow wheat.
I'm ok with the further progress into antibiotics, vaccines, surgery, all that good stuff.
I'd be a cripple if not for our progress with surgery. I'm very glad to live in an era of modern medicine.
Apparently, some politician tried to shutdown the patent office in the nineteenth century because "everything that can be invented has been invented."
