That statement only applies if you exclude the ever-escalating world of impractical consumer electronics.

as soon as i made that statement i thought about touch screens. it is a silly thing to say. so much has been invented, buts its all electronic. less men in garages making changes for the world. They must work for companies now

uh google and

pretty much all silicon valley were made in garages.

important inventions aren't necessarily cute gadgets anymore; methods, algorithms, things you can't see are more important now.
