Have technology advances slowed down? Or are we just not advancing in the big, exciting really of "blowing shit up"?

We are now advancing mostly in the ability to manipulate, exploit and make miserable almost everyone, via adtech.

It feels like we slowed down in the important areas. Software? Web Apps? We're doing great. Anything space related? Eh. In theory we get to claim SpaceX so I guess that counts but most people couldnt tell you what NASA's been up to recently...
