You pretty much summed up what I would have said. Just the capabilities of computers in general has increased an incredible amount in my lifetime. More specifically, the processing power and data capacity (RAM, hard drives, etc...).
I am kind of saddened that, at least in my opinion, software hasn't taken full advantage of it. Things are a lot prettier now, we have space for all kinds of media, etc...but the way we actually use computers really hasn't changed much in the last twenty years. The internet was obviously the big change, but that wasn't so much a function of computing horsepower as it was a huge shift in communication.
I'm excited by the evolution of computers,, but not amazed. I'm amazed by things like astronomy, and string theory.
Nature, especially the oceans and the life within them. Studying it for even a short period of time reveals there is such a staggering amount of information we have no clue about, it is incredible.
I am amazed that I have so much homework to do tonight but cant help from reading about keynote rumors.
- The quality and realism of modern 3D videogames compared to what we had only 10 years ago.
- Apple's design team.
They seem to be singularly capable of surprising the World with new innovations. - The non-use of nuclear weapons in an act of aggression over the past 62 years.
- Firemen that ascended the Twin Towers during the attack on 9/11
- The global spellchecker in OSX has apparently not had much impact on the incidence of misspelled words in forum posts.
I'm amazed how Apple can squeeze money out of me as a consumer like water from a dirty dish rag.
I'm amazed by the fact that I'm actually in a stable relationship with a girl.
And shiny things.
And shiny things.
