The fundamental problem with tech in the 2020s is that it’s pretty much done eating the world. The last big earth-moving platform shift was smartphones over a decade ago. Ever since they’ve just been trying to make wearables happen, then make VR/AR happen, then make web3 happen, then make AI happen.
They keep on trying to make these new platforms happen but they don’t really have any compelling features. Before smartphones when I’d travel to a new city I’d buy a paper map… and get lost. I don’t get lost anymore. That’s genuinely a different experience. Nothing since has created any sort of earth shattering change on that level.
