Sorry if this is a dumb question, but does anyone else feel like technology - specifically consumer tech - kinda peaked over a decade ago? I’m 37, and I remember being awed between like 2011 and 2014 with phones, voice assistants, smart home devices, and what websites were capable of. Now it seems like much of this stuff either hasn’t improved all that much, or is straight up worse than it used to be. Am I crazy? Have I just been out of the market for this stuff for too long?
I’m young enough to tell you that it’s not just nostalgia. Most new tech now is like “cool but impractical” at best and “I’m worrying about how this will be used to make the world worse” at worst. Nothing to make me think it’s the future.
