I don’t know about that. In 1999 an iPad would be pretty amazing. But in 2019 plenty of folks were still using their early apple products. The newer tech becomes less amazing and more... well- it’s generally better. Many people leapt from 486 generation machines to pentium 2’s- that was an impressive leap. Going from 2010-ish iMac pro to a modern machine...? Unless you’re pushing the leading edge of use cases, the average user isn’t gonna see much benefit. Things will be faster- but my 10 yet old SSD machine boots up just short of instantly anyway and may not have the storage of a top shelf modern machine- but it is in the terabytes (one of the largest commercially viable drives of the day- costing as much as an off the shelf computer..) so it’s not so impressive to jump to my 2020 new machine.

I wouldn't even be amazed, it's just expected that she'll live until the end of time...

The tech jump from 2009 to 2019 was very underwhelming compared to the jump from 1999 to 2009. Honestly the only things that I would be impressed with are vr and Tesla cars. Desktop prossers have not gotten any ware neer the as good over the past 10 years as they did between 1999 and 2009.

Agreed more or less. The technology has improved some- but probably the biggest differences are seen in price- simply that more people have access to the types of performance that existed but was outside the reach of the lay person.

100% get what you are saying. At the same time I’d say… if this is from 2019 and 10 years later will be 2029…. People in 2029 probably would be pretty amazed if they find out the queen is still alive.
