The world of tech needs a new killer app
Aug. 31st, 2023 10:27 pmWe haven’t had a new exciting consumer technology in a while. Online meetings/education, although useful, feels imposed and buggy. To many, mRNA vaccines also feel involuntary and somewhat dangerous. ChatGPT doesn’t have any cool apps that a common person can relate to. All of that feeds into a backlash against tech in general. Musk's antics don't help either. The world wants some kind of penicillin or, at least, Angry Birds. None seems to be forthcoming.
