>>109177191you didn't have subtitles on demand for any audio 10-20 years ago.
>>109177191My car drives itself and I can have anything digital I want by speaking English.Yeah you're wrong.
>>109177191>When did you realize we are living in the age of total technological stagnation?About 20 years ago.
>>109177247Sure, call the cucked shit where you have to have your hands on the steering wheel at all times "driving itself".
>>109177191>technological stagnation?
>>109177191Don't fix what ain't broke.That's why everything is going to shit today, they're trying to "fix" it.
>>109177271>you have to have your hands on the steering wheel at all timesLol not in my car. We're passed that already.
>>109177191We have barely seen the tip of the iceberg of computing, we literally know nothing about computing we are like the ancients when they discovered the basics of mathematics.The problem is that nobody wants to actually innovate because commercial interests dominate the scene since 40 years and they are averse to breaking any backwards compatibility or to have to work on a new system for years before seeing results, so we are stuck in this C/UNIX/Windows/webshit/mobileshit status quo hell that only benefits corporations and governments that want to spy on you.See >>109173464
>>109178560>109173464 Because everything I use computers for would stop working without backwards compatibility
A few years ago when I was ready to dump a bunch of money on replacing my whole tech ecosystem. It's getting harder and harder to find decent tech without anti-features, let alone tech with any outstanding features.Late 2000s/2010s hardware ("Y2K") is unironically more advanced.
>>109177191you're looking at tech development from a very generalist standpoint. technology ends up getting invented long before it sees the production line.we've gotten real-time ray tracing in video games now, which may have existed in the past as a fully developed technology (ray tracing has existed as far back as 3D modeling has been a thing, mid 1990s is when pixar made their first medical imaging computer i believe) but it's just now feasible for a non-millionaire consumer to do so during a game session.MRAM already exists but will hopefully someday become a universal memory type that's even more resistant to bitrot and wear than flash.we now know how to manufacture monolithic stacked computer chips. we've been working on that stuff for a long timephotonic chips are also a thing
