I feel as if technology has stagnated, all that are left are grifts or just make everything terrible, like AI. I was thinking Zoom calls maybe? The tech has definitely improved since Skype.

what the fuck is this thread half of y’all apparently do not know how long a decade is…
why are you putting down GPS and epub/eReaders both of these technologies were basically solved by 2015. In fact I’d go so far as to say ereaders have stagnated in the past decade because they keep throwing shit at the wall hoping it’ll stick (what if you could…use your ereader as a digital notebook?? if you use our $800 ereader you can do that!! What, you’re just looking for an e-ink that isn’t going to display ads at you 24/7 like the Kindle? China has been making some great things and it has taken Amazon years to catch up. Oh there’s a new color e-ink kindle out this year? wow the Boox Poke 2 came out in like 2011
Ebikes is like…ok sure I guess, various startups like Lime didn’t really get rolling til 2015 or so…NYC’s Citibike didn’t start until 2013 so this is one of those threshold cases…
Zoom - have you fucks never heard of Pidgin or MSN Messenger?? Both were offering video calls exactly like Skype and subsequently Zoom. Don’t you even think about Discord it has built its empire upon the bones and corpses of the great ones before it like Trilian and Teamspeak & again - it is not a breakthrough to release a ‘easier’ or more user friendly messaging app.
dunno why i got titled reading the comments on this post i think i didn’t get enough sleep last night…
Huh, you’re right. I remember GPS sucking really hard up until 2015 or so. It was not pedestrian friendly up until around then, having gotten lost in spectacular fashion back before that cutoff.
