Also new technology = new plateaus to explore.
Internet really boomed and flourished in mid 2000's, and then the mobile and the app space took off in mid 2010s, where we had new content/ideas/innovation. Even way before then, VHS kicked off a video golden age in the 1980s.
Kind of curious to see the next frontier that gets propped up by a technology this decade. I thought it was going to be consumer robotics but it's probably still too soon for that.

Decentralised apps seem to be a booming 'wild west' creative outlet nowadays. NFTs are popular, but there's definitely potential for more interesting use cases.
