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 not sure about the touch displays on cars.

    How long does a Chinese tablet last, 10, 12 years ? If you keep it safely stored and don’t drop it.

    The things in cars seem to be even cheaper, they only use phone uPs designed to last no more than a few years. And they’re roasted in hot weather, frozen and shaken to bits.

    Good luck finding one of them in a few years, assuming they can be taken out at all without ripping up the dash.
