You can go 100 years and see this, from telephone lines that were only local, to digital switched and dedicated lines, to satellite coverage, and all of the applications as we’ve gone from wired dial up internet to being able to FaceTime in the middle of the street. The same thing has happened with TV and it’s bandwidth increases on airwaves from just a few channels, black and white to color, cable, satellite, and now streaming online in 4K, soon 6K and even 8K… let alone in VR. The history isn’t so new.
I would not take your bet the world is good enough and innovation is dead. That’s been a wrong bet for thousands of years. Every time a new discovery or technological advancement is made, new use cases come that then fuel the next one… from the Bronze Age to stainless steel and fiberglass, medicinal herbs to antibiotics and mRNA vaccines, writing systems to tablets, paper to the printing press and now this comment on HN.
