Why has technological progress become so shitty and retarded?
I've seen the typical "le redditor" types talk about how technology is progressing faster than ever, but I don't see it. It seems more like everything has been grinding to a halt in the last few decades. There were only 66 years between the first successful plane flight and landing on the moon. It's been 48 years since we landed on the moon and what have we done since then? Hundreds of iterations of shitty phones, video games, muh 3D printer fad, some dumb gimmicks like half baked VR, and I guess the internet is really the only noteworthy thing but it's mostly just a depository for shitposts and porn.
This isn't impressive. It's just depressing.

ignore the underage millennial. If you haven't carried a 5 pound cell phone you aren't going to get it.

Just go on kickstarter and you'll lose all hope in humanity.
Smartphone apps that remind you that you need to pee, fidget cubes, IoT juicers, ask your car to ask your fridge if you've run out of avocados and gluten free bread.
God fucking damnit, It makes me want to not turn on my computer ever again and just go be a shepard somewhere in the mountains.

oh shit, I am exposed. Everyone knows there are just millennials and baby boomers.
This world is amazing and maybe you should take your head out of your ass long enough to look around to see it. You can do it on your way to protest that new jobs aren't being fairly paid.

To be fair, for about 20 years since landing on the moon there were a lot of technological advances, many of them linked to space.
It's only been the last 10~15 years where things have really stagnated down to iterating the same shit.
The future is already here it's just not enough to make a profit tho .
Le capitalism
Technology advances when a war between relevant countries start. Look at how quick technology improves every single time theres a war just because they want to kill people faster
