There won't be any more large technology creation in our life time

[Field Marshall Bradley]

Talking about not seeing any large tech creations when in the last 40 years alone is on some sci-fi shyt. Bring someone from 1985 to now and they would be shocked at what is here now, hell you could bring someone from 2005 here and they would be amazed.

No… Someone born in the early 1900s? Yes…

One of the dumbest things I have seen here. Just in the past ten years we have seen AI, IoT, Cloud Computing,

These things are built off of older tech that was created before you were born…..

DARPA dropped cloud computing in 60s…
AI research started in the 50s and started being utilized mainstream in the early 2000s…

These tech marvels(most of em) you guys are referring to were achieved using tax payers dollars via academia or government decades ago… What you’re marveling is private corporations buying this tech and introducing it to the every day consumer for huge financial gains….

Okay, take someone from the 1980's to now and you expect them to be like, "This is cool but it is nothing special" when they see what technology we have now? You dudes man......

People envisioned cloud computing in the 60's, ENVISIONED, not invented. It was not until the 2000's where it actually was developed and used.

AI was theorized in the 50's but we have not seen the widespread use of it until recently.

Because some people thousands of years ago were able to glide for short periods using primitive shyt, was true flight invented then? When people hundreds of years ago wrote books on WHAT could be done, is that when flight was invented? Or was it when the hot air balloon was invented, or when the Wright brothers took flight?

This isn’t the premise of the thread first and foremost… but as a late gen’xer who not only grew up OG sci-fi, but is also part of the gen that updated the tech that you are so impressed by, I can firmly say that yes, I could see this coming… You are conflating being able to forecast present day as opposed to just simply being impressed… There is ample video/literature out there from yester year that predicts the tech of current day… How old are you?

That is incorrect…. Inventions begin with a workable proof of concept, not when it’s adopted on a wide scale or privatized for financial gain… Military was using what would be considered(even if just conceptually) cloud computing in the 60s and 70s…. and it has been built upon over time to what we have present day….

Okay, you are not serious or more importantly not to be taken seriously.

I could post more but I am not. I am 40 years old and have seen 4 decades of technological change, not even counting the scientific and medical advances.
You want us to believe you somehow knew all of the advances we have now decades prior? That we are not supposed to marvel at what has been put out here?

Gotta OG Army Ranger that told me they were using touch screens in the early 80s for reconnaissance missions… Extremely similar to touch screens that are used in modern electronics today.

Man the Buick Riviera had a touch screen back in 89

You’re the one who can’t be taken seriously… You can’t even follow the premise of the thread…. The fact you were born in the early 80s and couldn’t see this tech coming is indicative of you being in the slow side of the game…. You standing on the hill of the smart phone being revolutionary when all the tech has been around for decades…. the miniaturization of transistors is what allows various tech to be combined in a small computing device…. Transistors ain’t new… and you can’t call tech a major breakthrough unless it progresses society in a positive way….. Yeah… you on the wrong side of this

Oh word? Not surprised…

Alright, you are a stupid bytch for real. Is that the fukking hill that you are going to die on, that since these new technologies use transistors it is not groundbreaking?

So i guess you think the automobile was not revolutionary because it was using a internal combustion engine that was already invented? Because it was using wheels that were invented thousands of years ago?

The rockets they used to get people and satellites into space were nothing special because the Chinese invented them hundreds of years earlier?

You can point to everything that has been created as being "ehh" because it built off of previous knowledge, pointless retarded shyt.

What the fukk are you even talking about?

You are championing a smart phone whose main function is supposed to be the ability contact via a mobile device….

I saw cocaine runners using sat phones in the 80s

Major corps have made you fall for the trick bag by marketing a must have product, that incorporates a lot of older tech, but yet doesn’t do anything revolutionary…. Surface level thinking at its finest…..

That automobile analogy is trash… it’s a revolutionary invention because it transformed human mobility on a personal level in a extremely positive way.
