Everyone wants to hope they're living in the time of the next revolution,

Eh, we already live in the age of silicon chips, good enough for me.

Technology has advanced more in my lifetime than in the prior thousand years, we are very much in the middle of the greatest revolution in tech ever.

The fact people are often so jaded about it amazes me.

Yeaah and there are so many tech products that have only become a reality in the last 20 or so years. Robot vacuums, consumer 3D printers, LED lights, batteries that actually hold a useful enough amount of power for high power devices which actually even our phones are. Crazy that my phone is ridiculous amounts faster than the first computer I used, yet it lasts a full day on single charge. People take all of this and more for granted.
