Show me and idea that's never been done before in movies, music, or television and I will drop my argument that no idea's origional. However, I really do believe that everything has been thought of. For example
Bowflex Home Gym - The idea is not as revolutionary as you think.
1. Exercise equipment is nothing new, people have been using exercise machines for decades now
2. The idea of a home gym,
all in one package is nothing new. I think the first home gym emerged in the early 80's.
3. The idea that instead of freeweights, using tension arms will provide resistance is nothing new either, I think Sir Isaac Newton discovered that for every action there is an opposite reaction thus showing us that resistance can be created if we push/pull against or away from somthing.
Now... granted my theory is not bulletproof, there are things that haven't been discovered yet i.e. life on other planets, but the
idea of undiscovered life, has been thought of and that alone leads me to believe that every idea has already been done. Everything that I'm saying has been said before. The only thing I'm doing is wording it differntly, but I assure you that somewhere, someone has said what I have said. To give you an example...
No ideas original, theres nothin new under the sun
Its never what you do, but how its done
What you base your happiness around material, women, and large paper
That means you inferior, not major
