What's a piece of technology you LOVE the progress of? (lemmy.world)

We talk a lot about enshittification of technology, so tell me about technology that is getting better!

I personally love the progress of electric scooters. I've been zooming around on a 400$ escooter for a year and it works so well. It has a range of around 20 miles and top speed of 15 mph, so it works just super well for my uses, and 10 years ago scooters with that range/speed/price were no where near a thing.

Americans drinking lead water and testing cocaine to see if it cures laziness, fitting shoes with x-rays, you're truly the most adventurous people in some ways!

That's really cool! I need a pedoscope apparently. A real shame most stuff like that is dangerous.
