Revisionist history. We were not living in harmony.
The Dreamcast lovers cried into their Shen Mue.
Game Cube fans quietly played Smash bros.
PC Master Race was still arguing about sound cards and telling Gabe to fuck off with this Steam Always On Bullshit.
For most of the gaming industry, you were either PS or Xbox. There was no unity.
Fuck dropbox. Dropbox uses your data for AI training.

We could be driving electric cars and having solar panels everywhere.
We could be having the fastest wifi network.
We could have high speed trains.
Medical advances as well. I don't even want to go into the vaccine territory.
All of those things were considered problematic by the old guard, who conservatives supported. One side continues to protect the yacht owning class. Conservatives would still be fighting marijuana if the rest of the population didn't tell them to fuck off.
And if you think this is all wishy-washy speculation, get the fuck out of America for a minute and look around the rest of the world.
