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.

Synthesizers and music technology in general.

I could write an essay or two about how much has changed in the past fifty years. Most of it for the better.

The level the "hobbyist" music producer can reach now days is mind boggling with the free software they can get on their phones and pcs.

According to Rick Beato on YouTube this is why music is shit nowadays. He's got real "old man yells at cloud" energy and he's fucking wrong. The fact that someone can make music easily means that there is tons of great music being produced because the barriers to entry are not prohibitive anymore.

Something being accessible usually means that the results have a lower low-end and higher high-end, no? In the context of music, it would mean that there are bigger heaps of trash with a few hidden gems
