I actually wrote a post about coming up with ideas, and the difficulty of doing so before:

There are two things you need for ideas:

1. The raw material from which to generate them: Other older ideas.

2. A mind that is able to synthesize ideas appropriately.

Ideas becoming 'harder' to 'find', is simply a function of one of these two things not being fully optimized.

I personally don't think that we have less of either of the two.

So no, I don't think Ideas are getting harder to find.
