Hakol Hevel

In קהלת א:ב-ח Shlomo is proving הכל הבל תחת השמש by using nature. He concludes that nature is a repeating cycle. It may continue to repeat, but it never makes progress. He then claims that man is a part of this cycle and he too can't make any progress. 

I can't possibly agree with this. The world is constantly changing. We are discovering new things. We will eventually die and from then on we are no use to the world, however the things we did during our life still remain and progress the world further.
