Encryption is unhackable? So why do people make new encryption algorithms? why do we constantly need to use longer key lengths?

Encryption has been cracked for decades, ever since the world war. Alan Turing was a man who cracked the German Enigma code during world war 2.

Encryption algorithms such as the Affine cipher, the Hill Cipher, the Auto Key cipher, substitution and Vignere ciphers, stream ciphers, El-Gamal and even RSA with small key lengths can be easily cracked. DES, 3DES, most of the RC4 algorithms can be cracked. WEP wireless encryption can be cracked in afew minutes, I believe it used RC4 encryption algorithm. People who think proprietary crypto is secure also get cracked. Even AES, can be cracked if the key length is too short, hence why they say to use 256 bit keys. For every single increase in key length, the difficulty to crack doubles.

I spent a semester doing cryptography and cracking ciphers. Id recommend reading the book https://www.amazon.com/Understanding-Cryptography-Textbook-Students-Practitioners/dp/3642041000/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1510268698&sr=8-2&keywords=cryptography

Although i'm just a student so what would I know.
