Everything is the same as it was back then but worse. The PS5 is just the PS4 but worse. Windows 11 is Windows 10 but worse and other than ai, which is aids btw, tech is basically the same.

Multi-demensional timeline shift is a hell of a way to avert the apocalypse. Every time we move into a less advanced version of our universe

8 years is no time at all. It's not even a full decade which in the grand scheme of world history is about the equivalent of 1 second passing.

In regards to entertainment tech, video games will more or less remain unchanged so long as they are experienced through their current paradigm. Video games which are all played via a screen as a medium, reached their technological peak 2 decades ago.

For any noteworthy change, there needs to be a new paradigm. Virtual reality is clearly the next one but any sci-fi level capabilities of it are still at least 20 years away.

2008. The world stopped in 2008. Really a result of corporate consolidation and over-optimization. Companies were allowed to get too big. Big companies don't create.

In 2016 you killed a joke NPC known as Harambe. Harambe himself was an Nth tier form Celestial Being from the 9th sphere of reincarnation. All he wanted was to vibe. By killing him in favor of black people the wheel of Samsara literally broke. Time began to move faster and out of control. Harambe of course didn't really mind it. In fact he found it quite funny as this marks the 999,999,999,999,999,557,254,356th time he has died in a physical body. No. It was Yema who was extremely pissed. The Big Red Bastard decided that if people were not going to respect the sanctity of life then he wasn't going to either. The rest then followed suit. Sure, the Illuminati and a few freelance mages tried to contain his rage, but honestly past a certain point you can't do all that much against a gigantic reincarnation controlling demon from beyond dimensionality and spacetime.

On the plus side that meant I was given an inning. In their desperate cries. They called out to someone. Anyone to save them. So along came. Me. :)

My life ended in 2016, just a downhill ride ever since in every way.
Apparently plenty of people also feel something changed around that time as well.

constant connection to the internet flattens and standardizes the human experience

our attention spans have been hijacked because real life feels less consequential and urgent than what we see on our telescreens

I like AI though

It'll replace 96% of public administration making taxes under 1% of income

No, 2012 - 2015 is when the world stopped.
Tech is basically the same since 2015 , the overused shitty flat design is still alive now .
