What's on your shortlist of 'magical' technology

I'm not talking being able to browse porn on your phone although i'm sure that's going to be the first response.
what i mean is things that even 20 years ago you would never believe could be possible.
my list includes:
- talking out loud and having something understand you ('set a reminder in 30 minutes to tell the kids to start their homework', 'i need toliet paper', 'lock my doors and turn off my lights', etc.)
- 3d printing..LOL no such thing as being able to print gun receivers to get around federal weapons bans. its ink and paper right?
- gps and real time traffic, cops, potholes than just appeared in the road... no way a little voice in my pocket is warning me to stay off the interstate as i'm walking to my car so i can choose to go have a beer instead.
those are among the things for me that 20-25 years ago i would have said would be impossible.

That we'd be at war for 16 of those years and counting.

The capabilities of phones these days is really just mind boggling.
I couldn't imagine having a device with that kind of capability when I was a young kid riding my bike through the neighborhood back in the day. I'm not sure I'd have been able to comprehend everything you could do with a smart phone back then.

On the flip side, 10 year old me never would have believed we wouldn't have flying cars by now.

I still don't really understand how television or the internet actually 'work' if I'm being honest.

I can't now. My wife got an Apple Watch for me for Christmas. That was like giving the TV remote to a puppy.
