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 just got a new phone, and the ai voice assistant is actually good. It’s what people imagined it was going to be when they first came out. It doesn’t have access yet to a lot of things, so it can’t ‘act’ on things, but it actually gives consistently relevant info.

    One thing I’ve used it for recently is I was in a game and knew there was a secret chest and it could accurately tell me what to do to get it Way better than looking up a video.
