I understand your sentiment, it echos that of Lord Kelvin who asserted that all discoveries were made, or Planck's professor who stated that Physics is basically done.

We certainly don't need Bluetooth airfryers or Internet fridges.

But we are on the verge of post Einsteinian physics, our materials science is not far from stone age, our additive manufacturing is nascent, long way to go before atomic layers.
Energy storage needs plenty of #innovation as does transmission.
Weve been two years away from #fusion for the last 20 years, I would say #AI is promising although likely terminal for humans, but then so were nukes so there may be hope.
Biotech and nanotech are in its nascency. Mathematics holds some fascinating promises. And that's just off the top of my head.

Innovation on its own is not the peril.
Concentration of wealth is a greater threat to humanity IMHO.

Conservatives want us to freeze in time, that's a recipe for stagnation and regression.
