Tech ebbs and flows when it comes to advancements – sometimes we’re flooded with them – other times there is very little new stuff hitting the market. As we head into 2025, has tech development and innovation stagnated?
Tech commentator Oskar Howell joined Francesca Rudkin for a chat about the state of the landscape compared to previous decades and the wide array of products produced.
He says it feels like a lot of these tech conglomerates are putting their eggs in the AI basket and using AI as a means to cut corners in developing good technology - gimmicks in place of proper innovation.
In 2025, a quarter of a century in, Howell would like to see some actual new tech – maybe these companies can get back to basics and stop with the fanciful AI and all that nonsense?
