Undoubtedly things slowed down, but as I've mentioned before, the real issue is that people of the 19-2000s thought that the revolutionary progress we'd seen since the 1940s was still perfectly ongoing and that there wasn't actually going to be an S-curve in between industrial revolutions hitting right as Y2K rolled around.
Seriously, it's probably THE biggest undiscussed cultural irony I can think of. That the inter-revolutionary era between the 3rd and 4th industrial revolutions.... happened in and after the year 2000, the year heralded for decades as The Future™.
Some of these things, I can see coming true by 2030. Other things, like anything involving awful but "trendy" ergonomics, good luck seeing those in anything but VR. There's a reason pyramid-shaped smartphones never happened.
