A LOT of people have completely failed to grasp how much technology has stagnated in the last 20 years.

Yeah, my smart phone with Internet access basically everywhere begs to differ.

Phones didn’t changed fundamentally since 2015.

Saying technology hasn’t progressed in 10 years is a very different statement than technology hasn’t progressed in 20 years.

The Iphone entered the marked in 2007, before that is what entirely possible to connect a PDA to the internet via you dumbphone (using IRC from my palm pilot in the 90s surely felt cool…)

My phone can literally be used as VR goggles and stream HD video pretty much anywhere in the country. But smart phones existed in 07 and PDAs existed in the 90s. Yeah, no difference between these things. lol.

The first smartphones were released in 2007….
