Raw LLM Responses

I actually think the tech trend is cycling down on the personal side. I think it’s likely with the rate of progression we’ve had, and our societal new tech fascination of the last decade, that counterintuitively we are in for a relatively long down cycle. This will happen I think because the next few generations will take new tech’s capabilities for granted (at least if framed from a millennial point of view), mainly due to the rate perceived rate of progression not being as high. Just as an example, going from no smart phone to what we have now, was a huge societal shift. No AI to what we have now (or next 5 years with the level of integration into society it will have), is huge. But imo we are coming up on some physical limits (which will take decades to overcome - again imo). Also just taking the AI example (as like Hanzel, it’s so hot right now), going from near current AI to a future more advanced AI, won’t hit generations as hard (in terms of shock and awe), as the perceived shift will be small to them (e.g. “Oh cool it can do that now, anyway..”). Back to my main point, I think the next few decades will see the trend of people not wanting tech products as part of their life as much. Where people often flaunt new tech as items of perceived social status, I doubt that will be the case going forward. I could see tech products thus moving to a more ‘stealth tech trend’ (for lack of better word), where power and capabilities no longer matter much, as the differences are less noticeable) and people largely opt for less seen options. So answering OPs question more discretely, Gen Z might resemble Millennials in the way that they too are a transition period generation (which may f them up in some way, who knows), but they’re just going in the opposite direction.
