Technology is stagnant

>1900
Living in a 1 room house with no water and no electricity. working in the fields every day from dawn to dusk.
>1999
Living in a 3 bedroom house with running water, electricity, a gasoline power buggy, television, cheap food, working only 8 hours a day....
>2019
The entire internet, every book every written, scientific journals, university, on a 10" hand held device the size of a 20 sheets of paper.

ugh capitalism is so hard

Why the fuck has there not been more innovation in home tech? Why do we still have to put clothes into a machine, add powder manually, then pull those out and hang them up or put them in another machine, then put them in a closet or wardrobe manually? Absurd.

FPBP and /thread

I wasn't implying capitalism is bad, just that there is no longer a need to innovate to make money.

Because kikes like Apple forced the meme of fashion over technology and steered the industry towards meme touch toys, siphoning trillions of dollars away from the advancement of technology, setting back technological progress by decades.

>Why is 21st century technology so stagnant?
spoken like a true zoomer

Basically at the point where we can get instant access to anything reproducible on a display/speaker anywhere, anytime
we'd need to move beyond flatpanel displays and electromechanical speakers somehow

>Why is 21st century technology so stagnant?
you deserve to go back to the 90s and deal with failing floppy disks and expensive dial up internet for all eternity.

90s
>Expensive or government-owned tech
10s
>Consumer poorfag tech
A bit unfair comparison, isn't it?

Because all the cool shit was state funded now that we live in the "free market" we send cars into space.

Unironically this. Fuck Apple

White society collapsed and the high IQ x, y and z white men that would have built the future were instead mentally and emotionally destroyed.

You have a giant gap between 1900 and 1999. 1999 to 2019 is nowhere near an equivalent gap.

This. "Old = better" is a way to spot the zoomer. Because zoomers only know about the past by the best things remained from it. Bad things usually get filtered by time or just get associated with modern times.

I saw Andrew Yang speak not too long ago and while he doesn't have a chance and I don't really agree with his proposals I think he would actually be pretty good at being president.

Currently we have matched what was "technical advancement" its just you have no since of scope and just pick 2 things out of thousands and bitch about advancement you don't like

nooo but Jow Forums were supposed to be nazees!

Sad thing is even smartphones are stagnating and they're trying to hide that fact by just adding retarded amount of ram.

6 years old or newer
Ez taxi driver here it's even worse because u have to pay your own fuel + insurance

Consumer technology is stagnant. But otherwise, a lot of really interesting shit is going on right now.

Yeah but I'd rather have gameplay since it's always graphics over gameplay. Games are now shallow as fuck

>self driving cars
This is not new. DARPA grand challenge has been going for over 15 years. The only reason we have it in cars is the improvement in sensor tech and computing power
>reignited space tech
It's still all the same tech as decades ago and the only improvement is the same as above
>Uber is a precondition to self driving taxi network
An app to call a taxi instead of a phone call is nothing revolutionary.
>affordable powerful computers with GPS, high end cameras and 100+ mb/s internet in your pocket
It's all about downsizing electronics components
>video game graphics rival CG movies of recent years
Could have been a lot better if there was a real competition in consumer GPU market but the gains between generations are smaller and smaller
>Electric cars actually becoming mainstream
Highly dependent on battery technology
>Renaissance of AI tech
Most of "AI" is just marketing bullshit

>This is not new
New for customers. You can go out right now and buy a self driving car, for accessible amount
of money.
>It's still all the same tech as decades ago and the only improvement is the same as above
Reusable landing rockets are new.

>Could have been a lot better
Everything could have been better. That's a retarded argument.
>Highly dependent on battery technology
They're good enough for daily use and will only improve.
>Most of "AI" is just marketing bullshit
And some of it is revolutionary

Cringe

The Cold War ended. Is why. The 90's and early 2000's were good because of that fact. HOWEVER ounce a conflict is won there is always stagnation that follows a boom.

wow such revolution

>New for customers. You can go out right now and buy a self driving car, for accessible amount

fair enough but the tech was there already
>Reusable landing rockets are new
thanks to advancement in processing power and sensor tech that can guide a rocket. I'd call this a win for camp computer not camp space.
>Uber is a precondition to self driving taxi network
It's a good testing ground to get a real world feedback for the system. Could also be done in conjunction with self driving taxis.
>Everything could have been better. That's a retarded argument.
GPU development is reaching a plateau. If there was competition we'd have ray-tracing processors years ago
>They're good enough for daily use and will only improve.
Again, a win for camp battery not camp electric car.
>And some of it is revolutionary

at least in 1900 it was easy to get laid

With the right USB monitor, keyboard, mouse, drives, hub you can have a desktop computer using your phone.
Phonetops?

>Living in a 1 room house with no water and no electricity. working in the fields every day from dawn to dusk.
Do you really believe those lies?

>Phonetops?
Palmtops

retard

Because the more complex it is, the harder it is to improve

Grandmother grew up, no electricity, no plumbing... 14 kids... two rooms. This was absolutely not uncommon for the era.

seethe harder discord tranny

Too much red tape & regulations.

>Lies
My grandmas house burned down and she lived in a grain elevator with no plumbing, heat or electricity for 5 years with her 8 brothers and 4 sisters. Shit like that legitimately wasn't that uncommon. She had 2 brothers die as newborns and a sister die from scarlet fever, and apparently that was just an accepted reality. Life 75-100 years ago fucking sucked for most people

>Palmtops
Ok, that actually sounds normal.

you are cringe,

true that

>super sonic jets
not even remotely interesting or useful, a complete financial a3nd logistical failure
lol ur an idiot

now Supersonic military jets, those are cool

Where did you get the idea uber drivers don't pay taxes? Also your car needs to be less than 10 years old. Your edgy comment failed.
