There have been a ton of real technological advances since 2008 that is not just on paper. You could have also said the exact same thing in 2000.

- UkrainianJew 4y agoKinda, but a lot of them are about manufacturing more cheap stuff in China. Most technological advances not involving that are about skirting the regulations/antitrust laws (AirBnB, Uber, Google Ads) or using dark patterns to manipulate attention (Meta).
- jliptzin 4y agoYou are distracted by clickbait news and ignoring important advances made since 2008, a few examples which is just scratching the surface because there is a ton I am personally not even aware of: * Greatly reduced cost of solar panels and batteries * Things like uber/doordash made taxis / takeout way more efficient * Transitioning to electric vehicles. In 2008 I'd pay $50/week for fuel, now I pay $10/week to travel the same distance in my electric car. Not to mention savings in oil changes/maintenance * mRNA vaccines nonexistent in 2008 * Significant progress towards autonomous vehicles, if that comes to fruition on a large scale it will transform our society
