Are we in a dead period of new tech?

AI notwithstanding that is
I'm talking about tech devices
Smartphones and wearables just come out with new minor performance improvements each year. Things like TVs and monitors might be reaching their max performance capabilities.
What do you suppose will be the next big thing in tech gadgets? Holographic displays? Some wearable tech like the Meta glasses? I don't see either of those gaining mass adoption.

I don't know, but I know my tech sector fund is on fire lately.

No doubt that these firms are making a killing
They just aren't making any new paradigm shifting products

I was promised hoverboards and flying cars

Bout 100 pages into book 3 and I only thought I was confused before.

Mind to machine tech is about to explode along with Zero-Point energy devices. And eventually Jetson type cars and floating RV’s.

Tech feels stagnant because we currently can't make processors significantly more powerful without 1. Significantly increasing heat 2. Significantly increasing power draw.
A device that relies on passive cooling can only put out so much heat before it heat soaks and starts to throttle. A device with a battery can only pull so much power before people would prefer to have more battery life than more power.
Until we solve one or both of those issues, we're likely going to live in a period of tech refinement as opposed to tech innovation.

We are in a dead period with technology- why? Because we donn’t have enough juice to run all of the new technology. This is why other countries are investing trillions of dollars into the USA - a lot of that money will go towards infrastructure, new data centers, etc

I can hail a car in Austin, LA, or SF and have a computer drive me around. That's pretty cool.
Also hard to exclude AI when that's the basis for all sort of emerging consumer products like autonomous systems, robotics, and predictive wearables.

I believe that the "green energy" push of the past couple decades has hamstrung the US power supply but that is just my opinion.

Not at all. Neo personal chore robots, warehouse robots and the Army granted a contract to Oklo for helion fusion generators.

That… has nothing to do with what I’m talking about re: battery density. Home computing components, like GPUs, have become massive power hogs. That’s simply not paradigm shifting.

Hell no.
People take for granted that the most innovative period in human history is a perpetual normal state- innovation as you saw from 1985 to 2025 has been an explosive abberration.
The good news is that you'll still have innovation, but it will be much more pedestrian than revolutionary. Throw in an economic environment where capital markets are increasingly squeezed, and funding super innovation is going to slow across the board until the Baby Boomers die off.

My bad, I was talking in terms of the new "AI data centers" that seem to be popping up next to freshwater sources that have everyone's panties in a bundle.

Its why they're all selling subscriptions now.
