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 think new tech is still great, I think the issue is the business around that tech has gotten worse in the past decade

      The question op is posing is:

      Which new tech?

      In the decade op’s talking about everything was new. The last ten years nothing is new and all just rehash and refinements.

      ML, AI, VR, AR, cloud, saas, self driving cars (hahahaha) everything “new” is over a decade old.
