Ecclesiastes 1:9

"That which has been is that which will be, and that which has been done is that which will be done. So, there is nothing new under the sun."

Points to Note:

Solomon isn't denying advances in technology or human creativity. But basically, nothing is new. "For example, man's journey to the moon and the discovery of America, though different, were both explorations of distant places, involving adventure and risk" (Bible Knowledge Comm. p. 980). Which means those who walked on the moon probably didn't experience. bigger thrill than Columbus or other explorers. We have "new" medicines, but the process, the work, toil, adventure and thrill of discovery isn't new.
