Weve entered a stagnation. Everything thats out now was invented in 20th century. Even ai, the algorithms for it were literally talked about in 5l60s but didnt have the commute to execute them. Turing test. Hard drives. Touch screens. You thought steve jobs invented touch screens for iphones. Nope its 80s military tech. So that leaves the question. Can /g/ name ONE, thats 1, tech thats 21st century exclusive AND doesnt use computers? Doubt you can. 21st century has had 0 innovation in technology. >social mediaGo kill urself
>>106871895Name one invention since grug discovered fire that doesn't involve fire somehow.

>>106871895Faggot retard is just mad we don’t have society that looks like Jetsons that’s it. And the reason why we don’t have that society has to do more with other problems aside from stagnant technology. The first problem is that lot of the concepts invented by 20th century futurists are fucking retarded genuinely. Flying cars as an example are probably the single dumbest idea anyone ever had, they would consume too much energy to go around and be too unsafe for your average driving school retard to operate. We already have helicopters which are by all means car-shaped and sized vehicles that fly and are very rarely used for almost anything. The second and more important aspect is material wealth. We don’t have sci-fi buildings because sci-fi buildings are expensive to build, that’s it. We use almost 100 year old infrastructure with minor occasional upgrades because it works and we don’t have infinite money and resources to rebuild everything. This is why developing countries or countries that were developing recently like lot of Asian countries look more sci-fi, because they build their metro stations recently and made it look modern. The only things we don’t have because of technological limitations are AI, robots and fusion. Fusion is just hard to do outside of Suns and AI and Robots as it turns out are less like Star Wars buttlers and more like R.U.R. unemployment existential nightmare which we probably shouldn’t be making.
>>106871895Tech that doesn't use computers? You're fucking stupid, I hope you know that. It's at least something you have in common with Thiel, you both try to sound smarter than you actually are.Why would anyone avoid using computers, given the efficiency gains? I was going to say something like high-throughput sequencing of the genome (e.g. Illumina) but with a stupid requirement like that, basically everything invented post 2000 isn't valid.Advancements in med tech? All irrelevant, they either used computers/AI in synthesis (e.g. targetted drugs, sgRNA in CRISPR editing, LNPs) or in processing (advancements in imaging).Aerospace? Basically all new-gen aircraft use high-spec on board computers for AI guidance systems.Productivity? All intellectual labour relies on computers. I guess factories have seen efficiency gains due to new machines, but no breakthroughs there.
