Not only Google, I can't remember any recent internet/web/mobile/computing consumer product I was excited about. Everything is either "meh, seen that already many times" or "nasty thing that's going to exploit users".
It's probably the HN filter bubble, but I feel similarly. I am excited about the return of 'dead' formats like landscape slider Android phones (Fxtec Pro1) or 'open source' hardware (PineBook/Phone/Time), but for most of the big companies out there, not much is new under the sun.
I could be wrong, but this reminds me a lot of 2006 or so when smartphones existed but were mostly Blackberry / Windows Mobile 5 Pocket PCs. We were ripe for a technology revolution but didn't know it at the time.
Either that or we are progressively turning into grumpy old people who don't like new technology?
