The Wright brothers were over a century ago.

Yes, but Wozniak produced a significant breakthrough rather later
than that.


What breakthrough was that, then?


He worked out how to make a personal computer
affordable by almost anyone who wanted to have one.

So did IBM, clive sinclair - or chris curry - and a dozen other people
who worked out what a low cost 8 bit processor made by a VERY big
company could do. When hooked up to a mass produyced TV made by another
VERY big company.


Whoever did the telephone produced a significant breakthrough too.


Not recently - none of it. Those days are GONE.
