I think we should look at the demand side, not the supply side. We are producing lots of technological innovations, but there aren’t so many major problems left for them to solve. The flush toilet was revolutionary; a super-flush ecological toilet with integrated sensors that can transform into a table… is much more advanced from the supply side, but barely more from the demand side: it doesn’t fulfil many more needs than the standard flush toilet.
