Wireless internet. Being able to take the internet with you wherever you go was 
Touch screen buttonless phones. Basically the iPhone 1

Just overall what we can do with video and audio now, creating it from scratch out of pixels, sine waves, etc. (basically a stream of 0's and 1's) is really insane.
Video games. When you really think about it, that shyt is crazy. It's like the peak culmination of interactive entertainment and tech (art, music, interactivity, etc.). It moves with the times too as you can pack modern code and hardware on it.
Similarly FL Studio and other music making software is
when you consider what people had to do before to get music going. It's practically a full-on studio inside a laptop. Using things like convolution reverb people can literally mimic the sounds make in some kind of environment. Although now they also make it so a lot more music goes through which leads to things getting stale faster and in big numbers.
Transistors on microchips as well that's where so much happens.

Already had microwaves, and deep fryers and stuff by then so it wasn't really the fact it could warm up food
It was more so the fact it could legit get stuff crispy from a completely raw state so fast

The internet blew my mind. Being able to talk to ppl in Africa from my bedroom was an incredible experience for young me.
lol went from 30 second bangbros clips to downloading whole hour long Booty Talks off Kazaa...if you know you knowYup broadband highspeed internet was like some tesla lightbulb shyt in realtime. Nikkas never fapped so much and so hard in they life during that time

NOPE
GPS...hands down.
its crazy how much tech has changed in my lifetime. at one point was i using a boombox for music. then a Walkman, then a portable cd player, then a ipod, to now i can just stream all the music i want on my phone. 4 generations of audio devices just went by in a short span of time.
i think my parents basically just had vinyl for most of their youth by comparison.

Whoa. Where are you from?
I honestly can't imagine this. I had a brief period in my life where I moved into a place that construction wasn't fully done on. I had running water but the toilet didn't work. So I would have to fill up a bucket with water to flush the toilet. I can't imagine not having running water tho.

Oh and what we can do with electromagnetic waves and radio waves.
We're sending signals back and forth using zero electrical current
The fact that we're sending signals back from the edge of our solar system to a very specific location is also insane.
It's also not so much a marvel at mankind's inventiveness though as much as it is a marvel at what is possible.

PlayStation 1 and mp3s blew my
Mind to bits.
Mind to bits.
Imagine it for peeps born in the 20s (how many are even left?)...they done seen the transformation in crazier ways
But as am 80s/90s kid...watching tech evolve has been cool in its own right.
