For the Inventing Minds Among Us

Human history is replete with plateaus of acceptance as we utilize and become accustomed to accomplished (Couldn't find a spot for 'occurrence' *g*) innovations that are then, often suddenly, followed by surges of inventions that revamp – often radically - the status quo. Without much hesitation or resistance we incorporate the new into the known and go on. Often the new development spurs other innovations which we then also utilize. Then occurs another plateau. Followed by another surge.

What surge do you foresee?
