Technology is basically what Science Fiction is about. During the Golden Age, stories were written about how technology would be in the future but they talk about technology in the new future. The most popular stories are about how robots are going to take over the world. People were intrested in the future during the Golden Age of Science Fiction. During the Golden Age writers usually talked about technology in the 21st century becuase they really thought that there would be robots,spaceships,etc. During the Golden Age of Science Fiction, there wasn't that much technology. That fact allowed the Science Fiction writers to predict what could happen in the new future. Nowadays there is more technology in the world. That makes it harder to come up with new ideas for their stories. Authers now can't come up with new inventions and think of things that can happen in the near future. Now sci fi writers don't talk about technology as much as they used to. Maybe they are running out of ideas or they're not sure what is going to happen in the near future. Science Fiction imaganative, and this type of writing will never die out.
