In the early 2000s, I vaguely remember VHS being used (although DVD’s were quickly taking over), seeing 5th generation gaming consoles in stores (although 6th generation gaming kicked off by Q4 2001) and CD players were a way to listen to music. Sure the iPod came out Q4 2001 and iTunes launched in 2003, but it was still a luxury item until Q4 2004. The early 2000s was still a part of the Web 1.0 era of internet like the 1990s as it was before social media. Chatrooms and boards existed though.
Now in the early 2020s, a lot of 2010s technology is still being used and supported. Even the phones debuting in 2020 and 2021 look similar to the late 2010s and the mid 2010s to some extent. Touch screen flip phones are in the minority. PS5 is out and slowly gaining traction, but the PS4 is still popular.
In the early 2010s, touch screen devices became standard quick. I can’t sense that progression for the early 2020s. I think that has a lot to do with COVID.

Tech is stagnating because of the collapsed economy and the supply chain issues. I think it's going to be difficult to compare it to any previous decade or era, except for maybe the Great Depression. The PS4 is still popular because it's very difficult to get a PS5 even if you can afford one. I'm still using a gaming PC from 2015 and given how things are going, I'm going to try to keep it going a few more years because this isn't a good time to upgrade (if you even can).

Yeah technology in 2021 does seem to be similar to the 2010s (even the early 2010s to some extent), whereas in 2011, smartphones, tablets, And social media started gaining traction. I think that the early 2010s (and some of the late 00s) just got caught in a technological transition and we’ve mostly been in the same technological era since that transition ended. Right now we’ve reached “peak smartphone” where smartphones can’t really get any more advanced than they already are so either a new kind of tech will have to come out or smartphones will just have to change stylistically or something, who knows.
On the other hand, I have noticed some all electric cars gaining more popularity recently and have even seen a good amount of Teslas in the streets now more than I ever did before this year. Also rideshare rental cars are taking off in some cities in the US now. I think the early 2020s mirror the early 2000s mostly in gaming as we are in a transition between 8th and 9th gen gaming, like how the early 2000s was the transition from 5th to 6th gen. The PS2 even had shortages when it first released just like the PS5. I feel like by the end of 2022 9th gen gaming will have more of an impact

It's very fair to compare 2021's technological developments to that of the great depression
Even with the great depression, the 1930s were one of the most technologically progressive decades of the century.
I have a feeling we'll be seeing some huge technological changes around 2023-2029, specially when it comes to AI and health
Ww1 and ww2 boosted mechanical and electrical technologies, covid is doing the same thing with healthcare technologies, some of the covid vax companies are test vaccines to cure AIDS, the other day i heard of a company from the US the might have invented a way to prevent breast cancer.
We're living through a healthcare revolution and a lot of people don't see that.
