Of course not.. technology is pretty advanced as it is right now... you have a hoverboard from lexus .. now 8k filming is possible... youtube now has 60fps and 4k possibilitys.. only years ago it wasnt... Now NASA can get quality pictures of planets so far away...,so much more.. technology is advancing fast ... so even if we are behind.. it won't be long before everything catches up..
