Technology pushes technology. You mentioned your graphics card would struggle with 4k resolutions and more to the point - I quote:

I just don't see the need for it and I wait for the point in time when there will be technology to truly support this.

Had we had 4k monitors a decade ago and they were being pushed to become the new standard back then, then nVidia, AMD, and Intel would all have put forth the effort to make their graphics support these greater resolutions. Imagine if my little GT 630 was built to push that many pixels? I imagine it would still perform as it does now with 1080p in terms of speed, but it would have been built with the intent to drive full 4k resolutions if that were the case. Now, I'm not saying it can't, but there would be a massive performance impact. That impact wouldn't exist if it was built in a time when 4k is and has been the standard since before its previous gen counterparts were manufactured.

A similar thing is if fiber internet had been set up across Europe and the Americas ten years ago. We wouldn't really be talking about it now in all our excitement because we've had it for a good long while. Hell, we would probably be pushing something more powerful at this point if that's even possible. Attempting to break physics and getting ansible-like communication maybe? And all our TVs would be reaching 8k or something. vOv
