So let’s leave out all the advances in biomedicine, personal genome sequencing, immunotherapy for cancer, genetic engineering advances for incurable diseases, etc. All of these are “technological”, yet this author was too focused on consumer tech to notice. What about battery technologies and new solar energy tech which make small devices and EV’s possible. The enormous advances in machine learning and AI (and algorithms in general across all areas of computation). Bioinformatics, advances in protein engineering, etc. I could go on and on. I think this article is going to be one of those quoted in ten years as being incredibly mistaken.
