Does anyone else feel like tech peaked around 10+ years ago? (lemm.ee)

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but does anyone else feel like technology - specifically consumer tech - kinda peaked over a decade ago? I'm 37, and I remember being awed between like 2011 and 2014 with phones, voice assistants, smart home devices, and what websites were capable of. Now it seems like much of this stuff either hasn't improved all that much, or is straight up worse than it used to be. Am I crazy? Have I just been out of the market for this stuff for too long?

a lot of pioneering in the ’70s*
right there in the late ’70s*
Most people ended the ’70s* living like they did in the ’60s*
a lot of invention in the ’80s*
crystalized in the ’80s*
We emerged from the ’80s*
lot of evolution in the ’90s*
a lot of revolution in the 2000s*
a lot of stagnation in the 2010s*
Now we arrive in the 2020s*
In truth this began in the 2010s*
the sinisterization of the ’20s*

But you got it right for “TRS-80s” & “August of ’91”!

I didn't sign up for an English class this semester, and I'm certainly not paying tuition. You gonna pretend you didn't understand what I meant?
