I know tech takes time, and that lots of scientific breakthroughs have transpired in the labs, but it seems to me that nothing has changed since the smartphone came out in 2008 (this changed a lot, but those changes basically began in '08). I drive the dame car, I still put coins in the laundry machine... My concern is that, if nothing's changed in thx last seven years, maybe the breakthroughs that effect the Everyman are going to be glacially slow. Thoughts?

I know that VR, later this year, will be the next big exciting and game changing tech, but I'm sorta hoping that I've over looked some other oblivious innovation (I guess 3d printing has stated to be somewhat ubiquitous).
