I think this is it. While things have changed in the last couple of decades (how could they not?) - it's still largely a matter of perception. Personally, I'm still excited about tech, even if I'm probably in the same age range as OP. Is there a lot of work on "boring" things? Probably, but what may seem "boring" to you can still be really amazing to somebody else. Not to mention all the ongoing work that I think almost nobody finds boring in areas like AI and robotics. And everywhere, really, there's a lot of cool stuff going on in tech. At least to me.
