| I've been using old smartphones for a while now and even phones that were released in 2014 are dirt cheap since for me, there is no discernible differences between models. Can I: 1 - Take a picture and post it somewhere 2 - Surf the internet and use apps for consuming content 3 - Take some video and upload it to youtube 4 - use it to text message friends and family 5 - make and receive phone calls These 5 basic functions are available on EVERY smartphone manufactured today. The differences? Minute. My LG G2 vs. the LG G3? The LG G3 has a Mildly better screen, 1 more GB of RAM and few other minor improvements. You're absolutely correct progress is slowing down in tech. The biggest move forwards I thought was when Microsoft completely redesigned the interface of their Windows phones. It was totally original and I thought much better than how Android copied Apple's design. Other than that? Not sure there have really been HUGE tech advancements in the smartphone arena. Same goes for PC's and Cars. Unless you're a HUGE hardware guy, I don't see big improvements or revolutions in these areas of tech. |
