I've only lived in the present, personally. The future is just an abstract idea. Most tech I've seen is useless junk that does nothing to truly bring us closer to each other or help society.

That’s probably because your 1) young 2) just thinking of consumer tech.
If you were a doctor, surgeon, engineer, architect, scientist, pilot, farmer, or any other number of specialists I’m sure you wouldn’t be saying that most tech is “useless junk” lol.

Clearly it wasn't obvious enough sarcasm.
It's just so obvious to anyone with a brain that 99% of what makes our lives possible, let alone good, is tech based in some way or another that I thought people would pick up on the sarcasm.

Are you for real?
Sure, progress in technology is incremental and hardly noticeable but over long periods of time, tech radically changes people's daily lives.

Say what you will but it seems like you weren't being sarcastic.

He’s just behind the times. The meta is no longer denying radical technological advancement because the past few years have disproven that. Now it’s about how it’s apparently a bad thing.

I will say, today we're exposed to too much information. Sometimes, ignorance is bliss.

The 2010s and 2020s have been undergoing a lot of “Silent Revolutions” which we can’t really see right now but are gonna affect our lives a lot in the coming decades, or are already affecting our lives in ways that we have to be conscious of to notice.
If you want some formerly sci-fi but now real stuff here’s some for you. Tilt rotor aircraft are on their way to becoming cheaper, and will become commercially available soon with Agusta-Westland releasing the AW609 before 2030.
For one more obvious one, AI has very recently evolved in ways that almost no futurists had ever predicted that they would.
