Not really, no, there's still an awful lot for us to do, it's just that our current path has lead us down a bit of a dead end. Well, not a dead end, more like a very deep and winding cul-de-sac, where we're almost certainly not going to circle back to exploring other avenues until we've seen what's at the bottom of this one.

Smart phones smart phones are a truly life changing invention. There turns out you were wrong. Now no one has to accept your premise now.

Smartphones never felt particularly revolutionary to me. They did the same shit we already knew how to do in the mid 90s; just condensed in one device.

Of course we have, they're just hidden behind black budgets until after The Third World War.

Machine learning and AI are being hyped as the big revolutionary things. They haven't done anything even remotely worthwhile yet, but the Internet was shit and boring throughout the '90s but it took off eventually.

I also see plenty of devices around me that nobody has yet tried to charge ten times as much for by adding the word "blockchain" at the start, so there's plenty of room for invention there.
