Everyone is immersed in a illusion, mistakenly believing that the wheel of technology will automatically roll forward. Wrong. Time has never been the cure for progress. Only when countless people make a living from this and do their best will civilization advance an inch and feel the joy of progress. If not, entropy increase is the normal state of the universe, and all things will eventually wither and return to dust. Looking back to 1969, humans could step on the moon and touch the stars. But when the space shuttles retired, even mighty America no longer had the capability to send people to space. This is the real trend: if no action is taken, everything will eventually fade into nothingness. Consider the brilliance of ancient Egypt; the craftsmanship of the pyramids has become a legendary sound, leaving future generations only sighs. Look again at the grandeur of Roman aqueducts, which were also forgotten by later generations. Civilization is inherently a struggle against the current; if you do not advance, you will fall behind.
