I don't think of what we have as being amazing at all. As a web developer, I'm still spending too much time building brochure-ware. Sure, I build full on apps as well, but many of those apps still aren't very interesting. That's not what keeps me going though, most important to me is the thrill of helping people build their businesses.
As for capabilities, we still don't have enough speed in much of the world. There are still too many people even in the U.S. who can't get fast enough internet to act as replacement for cable T.V.
We haven't yet arrived to the internet of things (we can do this, but it's very early days.)
We don't have interesting devices to connect to the internet. We are still limited to desktop computers, cell phones and tablets. If I want to get any real work done, then it's desktop (or laptop.) I want a freaking screen which can appear anywhere in my house as a hologram, follow my gestures and understand my voice!
There is no way this is the golden age of the internet. But really, what is the internet but a utility? The internet itself isn't interesting, but what we can do with it. Electricity isn't interesting, but rather it's the devices we plug into the wall (or charge up) that's interesting.
