21、，(我们)曾有过发明的黄金时代，想想中国古代的四大发明：火药、造纸术、印刷术和指南针，这些发明给世界带来了永久性的改变。后来，还有西方的伟大发明：蒸汽机、电话和收音机。而现在，我们自己正生活在伟大的科技新时代。采访者：所以说，大部分新的伟大发明都是基于科技的吗？理查德：对的，很多都是。例如，虚拟现实以及可穿戴技术方面的进步，以及可折叠电池，意味着我们应该很快就会看到进一步的发展。此外，由于计算机能力的提高，医学和环境科学也取得了重大进展。采访者：您能给我们举些例子吗？理查德：当然了。新的发明，如3D打印机已经用于制作心脏和骨头的替代品。在环境方面，现在有可能创造一个智能步行屋。它可以使用GPS
22、技术各处旅行，用计算技术控制它的“腿”。此外，太阳能科技的巨大进步也让房屋具有环保性。采访者：真是令人惊叹的发明！也有人告诉我您自己就是发明家，对吗？理查德：是的，但我只是一个大团队中的一员大多数发明家现在都是大型国际团队的一份子。采访者：我懂了，那么是什么激励我们去发明东西呢？理查德：大多数发明都是从认识到需要解决的问题开始的。这无疑也是古代人们发明车轮的原因，后来由此发展成为汽车。现在，能源供应的减少和环境污染导致了新能源汽车技术的进步。不过，一直以来重要的是我们有一种强烈地想要思考和创造的渴望，那就是真正的创造精神。采访者：最后一个问题。所有人都很想知道：会有人发明出时光机器吗？理查德：我觉得你电影看得太多了！类似的东西还没能发明出来，按我说，目前要发明出像时光机器这样的东西还有很长的路(要走)！不过，常言道：“别轻易说决不！”
