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.

Interesting take. This is a technology that is often claimed to be a slow mover, so I'm curious what you've seen that suggests the opposite.

I think I like that the progress that happens actually make sense and makes my life better. Of course there is almost no progress that you can feel I'm this technology over the course of one year but that eInk in gnerell became a think over the course of my life still amaze me everytime I think about it

Some believe that competition is finally ramping up.

We have color and okayish refresh rates now!

The variable refresh rates on my newest one do make it more viable for other tasks like web browsing, that's true.
