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.

    Calling Zoom a “breakthrough” doesn’t sit right to me. I like your other word “improvement” better for something like this.

    However if we’re using a more expansive definition of breakthrough, my answer is Disco Elysium

      I’m not sure what they mean by Zoom, but I feel like video chats have not improved in 20 years. I think Skype introduced video chat in 2005, and AFAIK every video chat ever (I mostly use MSTeams, unwillingly) prioritizes seeing a blur at 15 frames per second instead of a clear picture. Which is annoying, because coworkers want to write on whiteboards.
