I feel as if technology has stagnated, all that are left are grifts or just make everything terrible, like AI. I was thinking Zoom calls maybe? The tech has definitely improved since Skype.

GPS and maps on phone along with train and bus tracking wherever i am and easier taxi booking. This enabled me to do things i otherwise never would have done and afforded a degree of spontaneity that helped me build a lot of friendships. Without this I probably wouldn't have ever gone outside. I know this stuff is a bit older than a decade but i didn't get a smart phone until quite late lol
