I guess those eMachines being marketed as "never obsolete" would have a bit more truth to them

Early 90s or late 90s? Because those two are not remotely the same.

Depends on what you mean by frozen. Typically, when civilization hits a soft limit on innovation, you get gradual refinement until someone figures something significant that changes goal parameters, like how mediocre steel weapons would still dominate against the very best copper age gear.

If things froze froze, not even condensing more stuff into chipsets, then you'd probably see gradual investment into whatever the last figure out technology was. Stuff that has perfectly functional models, but has yet to hit commercial production.

Well GameFaqs would still be fairly the same, lol.

Downloading music would be a much bigger pain again, and no more streaming so that kinda sucks.

I'm about to take my weekend trip to Blockbuster, and maybe stop by Borders on the way.

Would be amazing. Videogames where you didn't need to keep spending another $20 all the time. Cars that weren't fucking obese. Nightclubs selling drinks for under 1.

It's fine though. People didn't feel the constant need to make 4K videos about pointless shit...
