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?

    You grew up in a time of huge technological innovation, so you see anything else as unusual

    Boomers grew up in stagnation, and expect tech to keep progressing at the same rate.

    Both are 100% normal ways for our brains to expect shit to go, but neither fit modern society.
