While you could argue this was predictive for certain facets (look at music, for example), it definitely is wrong in others. Since the founding of Facebook (arbitrarily chosen because of the comment establishing this as the moment innovation died), we have advanced robots on the moon and Mars. We have quantum competition where even amateurs can contribute from the comfort of their own homes. We have deep <learning,fakes,etc> that are accessible from powerful computers fit in our jean pockets. We have Raspberry Pi and other SBCs connecting to a gamut of high technologies like e-paper, clustering, Google Voice, etc. We have autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicles. We have bitcoin. It would be easy to go on and on listing the innovations that have appeared since "cyberspace" became a thing. But the innovations I listed are because of cyberspace, and not in spite of it. While culturally the world is starting to blur, it definitely cannot be said that innovation is suffering in any way. Cyberspace essentially hit the fast-forward button on innovation.
