Things have stabilized a bit. I think the the 00's were exceptional on many fronts; Mobile phones went from huge phones to tiny feature packed gadgets, many other cool gadgets came to popularity (mp3 players, wireless headphones, portable dvd players, bluetooth headsets etc etc), web 2 and startups in general became a thing, HTML/CSS/JS got decent and took over, computing in general took off like nothing else. On many fronts there was massive acceleration. I think the slow down start 10's ish. But it's not as much a slow down as more stabilizing. Innovation is still very much happening and much more advanced, groundbreaking and useful than it was, but maybe not as "new and shiny" as for example a motorola razr or nokia ngage. I think contrast is what's missing, from 0 to 100 is much intenser than 100 to 200. You can kind of predict what's coming so even though revolutionary, not as surprising or exciting. But I still find tech very cool. The gadgets I have now are absolutely mind blowing if you think about it and they are actually useful, I pay with my watch, I have a laptop without fans and with a battery that runs all day, I talk to my watch to turn on the lights, I also work from home for a company in a different country with people spread across the world, I could go on.
