Are we going to reach peak tech in the near future and if so what happens then. I was just reading a review on the galaxy S9 plus and the conclusion is that it's much the same as the S8. Microsoft have also said they will never release another full OS just update windows 10 with whatever ever new features they can think up. 8k monitors will be peak resolution as the eye cannot distinguish anything more detailed apparently. I would imagine digital cameras will be similar and plenty of other tech. So will new tech keep coming along for decades to come and if not surely there will be some kind of major depression in the job market. Millions of programmers for example. What are your predictions, when is it all going to come crashing down, can't just keep going on forever.

I think besides battery life, we probably have reached 'peak phone'. At the end of the day a phone has to be pocket-able, so the displays are only going to get so big, so there's no point having 8k resolution, or games with such a high resolution. With that limit we've probably nearly reached graphics as good as they need to be etc. I just wish they'd sort battery life out.
Says the man still using his Oneplus One...
Actually when it comes to graphics there is apparently still a good bit to go using full path tracing to render the images. All the algos are know just no where near enough CPU/GPU power available to do so. You will be looking at full HD video quality graphics.
