Do you agree that everything that needs to be talked about photography has already been talked about endlessly?

No. I think that's a meaningless generalization.

I'm sure after 100 + years most things have been said several times . Has everything I doubt it , as our world changes photography changes with it and surely even if a finite number of things about photography had been said somewhere by someone I have not necessarily heard them all

You could say the same of any art, the key being in the word "needs". However, there will always be discussion over what photos you like and why.
The point was made in one of my books that Francis Frith's pictures of the Pyramids have never really been surpassed although they were made in the earliest days of photography using the wet-collodion process. Of course, Frith had the advantage of fewer tourists in shot, but there's no doubt he knew how to compose a picture.

Yep, I think we shouldn’t even be talking about ,nothing to talk about. Because there is nothing left to talk about I'm not even going to talk about, not talking. Funny how talking about nothing is actually talking about something. So my final word on this subject is.

Even if it is true that everything that needs to be said has been said by somebody, I'm sure that not everyone has heard all that should be heard by everybody.

That's just it - there may be a new generation that hasn't heard it all yet. If someone is bored by a conversation they have already discussed, there are two choices; share their knowledge or move on. I know I ask questions here that may be "old hat", but it's new to me. I don't always find the answer I need by searching.
If the question is more general, then the answer is still no. Not all the poems have been written, or the songs, or the stories, although the genres are old.
My two cents...
Not only that, but all the photos have already been taken.

Even this has been said before. But then roll film was invented.

I do pretty much agree with what digitalintrigue said. All the photos HAVE been taken. And all the paintings have been painted, and all the statues have been sculpted, and dance ...? You can pirouette left, or you can swoop right, but it's all the same stuff.
Up until the time when someone does something new, that is. That is how art works.

This is so true. Even the same (cat)pictures will be seen differently in future context.

I sincerely hope not, or I'm out of a living.
Surprisingly many people are profoundly unwilling to think unless kicked up the bum, but then find that actually, thinking can be quite fun. Also, doing things in 2011 is not like doing them in 1961... or 71... or 81... or...
(This could very easily turn into a political debate...)
