Technology Has Reached Its Ceiling

My TV is ten years old and 1080p. Never once have I been watching it and thought “this is too low-res”. My Bluetooth speaker is from 2017. It plays music just fine. I worry that we’ve reached a ceiling on a lot of tech. TV’s aren’t likely to get that much better over the next decade, just cheaper and more connected. Phones will just be iterative...

A social media post argues that everyday technology has reached a practical ceiling: an old 1080p TV and a 2017 Bluetooth speaker still work perfectly well. The joke is the resigned observation that future gadgets may offer only minor improvements, lower prices, and more connectivity rather than meaningful breakthroughs.
