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.

Holy fuck. Have you ever seen one of those full grill panels? Brighter than the god damn death star. When it's foggy the beam extends 3/4 of a mile

Better stay that way. I like the really lit up Subarus and Kias. Easier to see them on the road instead of making it harder for everyone
