> It’s hard for me to imagine a KPIs that hasn’t been affected by mainstream internet and mobile smartphone adoption, which happened the last 15-20 years.
The Internet got going in the 1990s, and everyone in the US was basically connected by (say) 2010. Can you be "more connected" that already having your business or home being online 24/7 (i.e., DSL or cable, not dial-up modem)? Certain transfer speeds have gone up, and going from a V.92 56kbps to DSL is improves things, but how much productive is going from 10 Mbps to 50Mbps: do you get a 5x rise in economic productivity?
Can you point to a FRED chart or cite a DOI that shows that GDP is better in societies pre- and post-smartphone?
If all KPIs have been affected, then it should be easy to post a graph and see where there is an inflection point or change in the slope.
If you find it so hard to believe, shouldn't it be easy for you to cite the data showing so?

Diminishing returns has kicked in for me. But hard to rule out any future bursts until the baseline raises. Perhaps lower latency could make things like VR and AR more appealing and useful.
I don't mean physics defying advancements. When things improve, even in technically incremental ways, they sometimes cross a threshold that unlocks (seemingly) unimaginable use cases.
