I strongly believe that this was always the case. There was never a 'breakthrough' invention.

Pretty much. After that it's all been wheels. Take the lenses, that's just a wheel with a piece of glass on each side, easy. The camera? More wheels of different sizes somewhat cleverly put together to capture light and store it - boring. It's almost depressing really, kids nowadays don't know how to make new things, just strap two things together with tape.

The transistor is a wheel with differently-doped semiconductor areas?

But it's just a round, narrow stone, preferably with a hole in it. What's new about that?
