Every technology that was once revolutionary and exciting, eventually becomes mainstream and standard. The first cars and planes were cobbled together by some geeks in their garage, but now it's a pretty boring industry. Every new technology goes through that same pattern, but if there's one technology that has the potential to keep itself constantly renewing, it's software. Because it's much more flexible than hardware. The trick is finding the new revolutionary ideas to keep it exciting, and that's not what most of the Big Tech companies are doing; they figured out what makes money for them, and that's advertising. But there's probably a lot more that we can do with this tech, we just haven't figured it out yet. But figuring that out is definitely getting harder; all the low-hanging fruit has already been taken care of.
