Saying technology hasn't progressed in 10 years is a very different statement than technology hasn't progressed in 20 years.

Phones, as we know them today, entered market much later than consoles or PCs.

My point is that eventually we hit the ceiling of progress. PCs and consoles hit their peak 20 years ago while phones did 10 years ago. Things haven't changed in a while for both of them and it doesn't feel so far that there will be major progress any time soon.

We've got driverless cars and CRISPR gene editing. Those weren't around 20 years ago. You don't think those are major advancements?
