Sorry if this is a dumb question, but does anyone else feel like technology - specifically consumer tech - kinda peaked over a decade ago? I’m 37, and I remember being awed between like 2011 and 2014 with phones, voice assistants, smart home devices, and what websites were capable of. Now it seems like much of this stuff either hasn’t improved all that much, or is straight up worse than it used to be. Am I crazy? Have I just been out of the market for this stuff for too long?
Depending on the surroundings you might have a spotty connection if using Bluetooth to stream your audio from let’s say your phone to a plugged in wireless speaker. I’ve personally had to pair and unpair failed connections and replace several wireless headphones because their batteries don’t last longer than 4 or 5 months from unboxing. I’d much rather rely on a high quality pair of headphones that don’t need charging and last me years at a time with no issue so long as I keep the headphone jack clear of debris.
