There are still advances in tech currently happening, but people’s daily lives have gotten as good as they’re gonna get. Most progress now is just slightly faster processing on devices, better battery life, maybe new materials here and there, medical advances if we’re lucky. But for the most part there is no big thing waiting for the consumer, like the invention of plastics or a smartphone.
Many of the advances we are seeing in tech are at the producer level. It’s getting easier to make better stuff faster, and this will just translate to more products, more content, and more processing of data.
But all this stuff will be pretty much invisible or unknown to everyday people. All they will see will be the end products, which will be greater in quantity but not much different in quality. Life will be the same for a long time now until the next big tech catalyst emerges.
