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.

Isn't that just a form factor for solid state drives? I suppose the upgrade from SATA to PCIe for data transfer to and from storage is a major improvement, but the main innovation here is better quality Solid State drives + faster cacheing.
