"They have come a long, long way, but I would argue machine translation engines such as Google Translate would fit this description. Of course, it wasn’t initially that way, but after years and years of trial and error, they are quickly approaching human parity in certain language pairs and certain language fields. Which is slightly unsettling as a professional translator."

cell phones got bigger for porn.
Don't worry about google language translation, we still need professionals. Have you seen how bias the AI has become?
3d printing is a fad. it's still in small areas like commercial or university, but not mainstream. i know a few people who have printers that are stuck back in a closet with old clothes. they're just not practical.

Yup. Porn is a well known MAJOR driver of technology.
Yup again on machine translations (MTL). If you've ever had to read a foreign language novel via Google Translation, then you're well aware of how it melts your brain with how much gibberish it is.

#2 The internet is WAY older than "the late 90s". What you refer to as "the internet" probably is WWW only, which started in the mid 90s.
#12 LOVE the C64 animation!
#14 Well, that's because everything before the iPad really sucked. I had a few of those "before" thingys and all of them were just horrible to use.
#16 Not sure those are around long enough to really say that they're succeeded. Cities like Paris alerady banning them...
#19 Wat?

The only reason everyone has wireless ear buds is because every phone got rid of the headphone jack. Wireless earbuds are worse in Every way. I have to charge them just to use them. If I leave the house without their little docking station, and I take them out long enough for them to go into sleep mode I just Can't turn them back on bc most of the cheaper store brands don't come with a power button. And I won't buy an expensive pair bc I lose one or both about once a month. They don't sound any better and they're more expensive even for the cheap brands.

Drina,
This. It's not a decision by the people. And it still looks like you are wearing a tampon in your ear.

#14 Uhhhh, wrong. I pads are for children and minimal processing, I've always bought tablets less than $200 and been VERY happy with almost every brand.
