And are not ever going to get any better because of insurmountable restraints. As time presses on, everything seems to essentially get better in the long run. Technologies always seem to ultimately improve. One thing I’m blown away hasn’t seemed to stop is the size of consumer computer processors. They get smaller and smaller every year and seem to at a steady pace. They’re down I believe into the single digit Nano meters. Blows my mind.

IMO the current iterations of the most popular mobile OSes. Both Android and iOS seem to have no great innovations left.

The M2 Browning .50 cal machine gun

God birthed that thing perfectly in 1933 and it's required very little innovation since.

Golf balls and clubs.

Unless they find a deposit of vibranium somewhere, I don’t know how much more they can do with the modern golf club.

Paperclips.

THey do everything I need them to do. Couldn't even imagine another way they could clip and release paper any better. Re-usable too, good for the Green New Deal whenever that eventually goes through.

I often wonder how much better can TV get. Where’s the next big jump? I mean, quality has taken a huge jump in the past ~20 years. All we’re doing at this point is upping the resolution and fiddling with 3D to a degree.

Toilets

Also, speakers. Signal processing has improved dramatically due to cheaper computing power, but (with the exception of miniature devices like phones) loudspeaker design hasn’t changed much in 50 years or so.

You arent wrong, but just something to keep in mind; I have sports pages saved from past years of certain times in history involving LSU and the Saints. It’s priceless memorabilia. With that said, your point still stands, but ill miss being able to do that if/when the time comes. I enjoy reading paper vs looking at a screen.
