Why is the tech slowing down?

Well since they're getting smaller they'd be more difficult to produce/ more of them returns a greater number of duds. It's not a surprising increase.
 
I was reading a thing in Time magazine where they laid the blame,"Squarely, directly and unequivocally on the lazy scientists who can't be bothered to discover new things," so I think that puts the argument to bed.
 
The hardware continues to get more powerful but many users are switching to laptops. This means the mass market spec is only increasing slowly and thus game developers are reluctant to make games that need top spec to run.
 
Having worked in the industry for 20 years now - it's mainly one thing....

Physical limitations.


The tools (machines) needed to fabricate the chips and parts are now stretched to their physical limits. Unless there is a major breakthrough in the actual construction, testing and reliability factors of the majority of parts in most tech today, we will be stuck in a very long slowdown in advances.

I have to say, games don't seem to have really graphically improved upon the original Crysis released in 2007.

Most have gone backwards or haven't even reached the quality of Crysis yet : /

Clearly the market to make a stunning looking pc game just isnt there anymore. The console are holding back graphics a huge amount.

I was playing fifa 15 at 1080p yesterday with vsync on my gtx 980 and noticed that it was only using about 17% of it's power and down clocking itself to about 400mhz core and 1600mhz memory! Imagine what EA could have done with it if they harnessed the whole power of just a single 980.

If that is the best graphics/animation etc they could get out of the PS4/XBOX One then it just goes to show how weak they really are.
