Price are rocket high and salary still the same. Added on that vapor tech products. It is not surprising that the tech rush is over.

Older generations may not be. Millenials were big into the latest, greatest Android and Apple devices but trailed off eventually. I'm using a Samsung S9 as my main phone now cos I don't see a point in upgrading.

But Zoomers and Alphas have serious FOMO so they want the latest everything.

Same will happen again in a cycle. It's why governments and corpos want MORE babies being born. Kids are naive and see things like "ray tracing" as being uber-essential when really it's not and the tech is silly.

Ray tracing might not be essential(it is cool though), however the tensor cores and ram are for certain things. — Naive Zoomer

(Technological advancement can be a net win for society— however people have been burned one too many times by the business types circle jerking it to short term profits and monetizing data collection)
