I mean it's not even about innovation per se—we've run out of new frontiers to exploit. First it was a literal frontier, then it was an economic frontier, and finally a computer and internet frontier. Maybe VR is the next thing, but I think we may have hit peak technological usefulness (to consumers) and it's all enshittification from here on out.

Computers that can display information on back of your eye lids maybe (with gadgets no more than an earphone while lasting several days on a charge) so that you don't even have to hold your phone. But that's really far far into future and even probably downright forbidden by the physics.
