Piggybacking off of this - faster internet/cellular data speeds even though most of the US is way behind other countries.



That's just a function of our size and lack of population density. It's a lot easier to create the infrastructure for high-end speed in a place like Japan and Korea (and somehow Romania has crazy good internet) than it is here.

I thought we'd have hoverboards by now but we still don't even have the double tie technology from Back to the Future II.

I know it’s an impressive feat, but what is the biggest accomplishment/discovery that the average person can understand? The only thing I can say about it without googling is that it may create a black hole that will kill us all.

Shrinking and commonality of the cell phone. When I started in oilfield in 1996 I was given a roll of quarters and pager. Had to find a pay phone. Later that year I was given a digital pager that could receive 32 characters so I could call that person right back instead of just calling the office when the first pager would beep.

Younger folks don't realize how is was NOT that long ago.
