Originality

Does originality exist? Or is it only possible to rework things that have been done before? Has anything new been invented since 1950?

my views on this statement/question is that of course originality exists, if it didnt i believe where we are technology wouldnt be the case. this answers the question that YES new things have been invented since 1950. inventions like the internet for example. however where it becomes difficult is when it comes to reworking and things that have been done before, what i feel about that is that things are reworked for the better, new originality shines through making things bigger, faster and stronger. i believe anything can be related to this for example cars, cars these days run on alternate fuels, cheaper design and new materials its a normal progression. as technology gets better so does product however some believe "old is gold" and this is where technology is great, for example old style radios are now brought up to modern times and made digital but keeping the same look, theres originality in the design aswell as originality in the technology, so i believe as long as theres a market for it originality and technology remain close and dynamic.
