I see this "new technologies and innovations will make everything okay soon" sentiment floating around this board and the news. This "we'll innovate our problems away" mindset is such a cop-out and very reminiscent of the Jetsons mindset of the 60's and 70's. The year 2020 came and went and we have no flying cars or nuclear powered robotic maids - only a pandemic, European war, and a fucked political system.

Our economy has been fuelled by two big innovations: smartphone+internet for a while. Obviously, nobody can know for sure but it's been a while without something truly significant which makes me thing that it could happen this decade.
