Agreed there were more consumer-facing things affecting our lives in your earlier timespan.
I'd include these at least in your timespan:
- 2016 SpaceX succeeds landing a rocket booster back, making access to space more affordable.
- 2017 Transformer-based deep learning models, making possible GPT-3, ChatGPT, also used in Stable Diffusion.
- 2019 Oculus Quest makes VR a lot more mainstream.
- ~2020 AlphaFold, can now predict how proteins fold. A problem which seemed intractable before and will likely lead to many medical breakthroughs.
Also during the last few years electric cars have become much more popular.
