Has all the math been discovered or there is still lot to discover?

I can't imagine anything new in math being discovered. It seems that the endpoint has been reached. Moreover, most modern mathematicians are incapable and incompetent when it comes to creating their own formulas and theorems. They just study in school, get doctorate and then make money and that's it. They rarely try exploring new stuff like the greatest mathematicians of all time like euler, gauss, jacobi, ramanujan, etc etc. For the past 90 years or so, there has been little or no new discovery in math. All the calculus and algebra and trig being taught is 100's of years old anyway. So what really is next? Recently a field named, "applied math" and "operations research" came into use. However applied math is nothing new and even operations research is about 70 years old since it started at around world war II. Operations Research is still not that famous and only very few number of universities offer degree in it.
