Anyone notice the drop in excitement around futurism and tech in Australia?

I grew up during the 2000s and that decade was very much influenced by the idea of techno-futurism, so much that it was the aesthetic. Any CD or library school book I owned had pictures of planets, or technologies and these shades of cool space blue. Many TV shows were obsessed with cyber punk themes like Silversun, Stargate, Parallax. Even the KFC’s had VH1 playing in it and there was a deliberate attempt by brands to belong to the “future” and seem “techie”

Nowadays it seems talk and optimism about the future is non existent. You don’t see people talking about Australian in 2050 for example. Nor do you see businesses or brands attempt to differentiate themselves by appearing futuristic like there was in the 2000s.

Why did techno futurism in Australia just disappear as a concept or social aesthetic? Does anyone else remember how different things were back in the noughties?
