What are the biggest technological disappointments for you?

Google glass or AR glasses in general.

I wish VR was better at this point than it is.

>doesn't yet have a "killer app" (I thought Tilt Brush would be, but it's somehow lacking)
>porn isn't quite there yet (producers don't know how to light properly, girls are mostly ugly, needs amateur content)
>support for people wearing glasses isn't there

VR is only just starting to be good, I feel like AR has another 5-10 years.

Others have said VR already, so I'll go with 3D printing. We're not just there yet. I wish we could scale it up cheaply to produce large scale 3d printed objects like bicycles/cars/houses/sheds/etc

3D printing will be cool as fuck once you're able to print on atomic level.

How about the Internet?

Things were heading in a really awesome direction in the 90s, and then the goddamned normies got on it, and now it's just one big fucking ad platform.

Microsoft developed x86 emulation for Windows 10 ARM. This would let you run applications such as Photoshop, games, and ancient business applications on ARM devices at near native speeds. Then after Microsoft demoed it, Intel threatened to sue Microsoft for IP infringement. As a result, Microsoft killed the project.

Ok, let's see:

01. Linux for not getting its act together presenting a viable alternative operating system.
02. Every MS OS after WinXP.
03. Smart phones and especially smart phone operating systems and software ('apps').
04. 3D-TVs.
05. Decline of single player games.
06. Ascent of multiplayer games.
07. Total stagnation in pc hardware innovation.
08. Insane waste of energy in cpu/gpu development due to chip misdesign.
09. Batteries. In. General. It is beyond my ability to express verbally how fucking retarded battery technology is in its current state.
10. Still not overcome capitalism as a social 'technology'.

>everything was based off of one or two absolute autists being altruistic, beautiful yet fragile
>now everything substantially popular has been made invulnerable because companies more powerful than most countries need to know what brand of porn you jerk off to so they can sell that to ad companies spamming your email address so they can make money hand over fist on the odd retard whale with a loose grip on their credit card information

Its like a fucking ancap meme made manifest and I'm not sure whether I want to laugh or cry.

It pains me how much it's gone downhill since I've been online and I've only been on since early/mid 00's

Nested dependencies and containers
Just write good code you pieces of shit

I'm disappointed it didn't succeed. It had far more real world use than anything VR. And it actually looked better than all the VR contraptions. Like actual glasses you would wear.

I need to research this before I give my opinion.

I agree with everything except the last point.

you do realize we got everything in that pic, yes the GoogleGlass and HoloLens is delayed on market, but the technology for it already exists, i've demoed a prototype.

Death of RSS/Atom, in part for the same reason as I just want to keep up with nice artists without having accounts on a dozen different sites and needing to check for new posts manually.

all of them

The entire Web2.0 smartphone era. All of it. Absolutely nothing that could be remotely considered redeeming came from it. Everyone on earth is now dumber for having used it.

that's a naïve opinion.

the world is the same amount of dumb it always was, social media just made the dumb ones more visible to the rest, and gave them a place to gather.

relative intelligence of the average person is at an all time high, so is global literacy.

Memristors.

Ubuntu, you cultists hyped up Linux and Ubuntu (a little over a year ago) so much I thought it might actually be good. You trolled me good, I actually believed. Now I know.
