[Polybius]

Part of me says the Boomers built some incredible technology innovations that spurred many years of growth.

"Pigmaei gigantum humeris impositi plusquam ipsi gigantes vident" ("A dwarf on a giant's shoulders sees farther of the two") ...... Isaac Newton

The Boomers built increadible technology because they had the benefit of starting out already siting upon the shoulders of the Giant composed of the scientific discoveries of generations past. When the Boomers stood up, they thus reach a greater height than the Old Giant himself.

Your generation, before it even tries to fully stand up, is sitting on the shoulders of the Giant at it's greatest height. Your generation will therefore produce even greater technology innovations unless the country, so currupted by Bread & Circuses, no longer has anybody left that cares to even bother to stand up.

I have little hope of the next generation producing much, as a whole. The dumbing down of our education system saw to that. For example, while the last decade saw the number of liberal arts degrees in the University of California system increase by 18%, the number of degrees in math, science, and engineering decreased by 9%. However, Japan and China are educating engineers as fast as they can - I think the new innovations will come from those areas, as well as the former Soviet satellite countries that are enjoying capitalism to its fullest. (Without the excessive taxation we have.)
