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.

What blows me away is how they fit all of that technology into microscopic earbuds

I bought AirBudz pros to delete an annoying coworker and when I first had my partner try them, they were like “HOW DID YOU TURN OFF ALL THE FANS”

I need hearing aids. My aids are so small they fit completely in my ear, so unless you are standing up close, you can't see they are in. I've had them for about 3 years and I'm still blown away how small they are and how well they help me.
