It can be a movie, a scientific discovery, food, whatever
SSD.
It is way way faster than HDD.
I can’t use HDD-only PC anymore.I had an extra SATA port on the side of my laptop that resembled a CD-ROM drive. Plugged in new SSD, installed win10, and it was so much faster. The original installation is festering until I finally back up all the data, cause I’m a data hoarder apparently. Doesn’t help I used the old drive, now D:\ as storage.
MRNA vaccines. Not only have they saved millions of lives from COVID, they look like they are going to revolutionize other areas as well. For example, there is a wide-range cancer vaccine under development.
Vaccines. My uncle had Polio as a child and so my Grandmother was still advocating strongly for vaccines before her death at 98. I’m happy to have received my first Shingrix shot last week. It’s amazing we can get a poke, with something that’s completely gone from the body in a week but we will have T-cells protecting us for a very long time.
LeBron. He came out of HS as the “chosen one” and dominated the NBA most of his career. He could have easily have crumbled under the pressure and instead ended up being a top 3 all time player.
Pokémon Go. Like a typical hype you are sceptic at first, try it, see why everyone loves it and then see how the hype cools off again. But for those few weeks in the summer it first came out it was a blast. I met so many new people, the whole atmosphere of walking in a random neighborhood just completely changed.
The polio vaccine.
Tv, The internet, the smallpox vaccine
Lasers. They seem to have endless uses from playing with cats, scientific measurements, military, construction, heating, cooling, even used for space-based internet communications. There’s so many more uses that I’m not using.
- The Lord of the Rings trilogy
- The Harry Potter books and films
Better Call Saul. I just finished the series a few days ago and I thought it was amazing. At the moment I believe it’s actually better than Breaking Bad so I’m gonna have to go and watch that next to compare.
Holy crap did they finally finish the series? If so, I’m going to watch that last season!
Bluetooth earbuds. Took me the longest time to buy a pair. Now I have them all the time.
Sammmme. I was so against having to charge headphones to listen to them. No idea they would last as long as they did on one charge and my god do they perform well.
The Steam Deck. Awesome, awesome device.
The Nintendo Switch when it came out. I was super hyped and somehow the console even exceeded my expectations.
Playing Breath of the Wild for the first time was amazing and even after 6 years the console still feels modern to me.
Yep, every time someone mentions how long it’s been out, it surprises me again. It still ‘Nintendo’s brand new console’ to me.
And then Tears of the Kingdom in turn lived up to the hype set for it. So great
The super mario movie. I went in expecting it to be good, and I enjoyed it far more than I was expecting
I went to see the original Pirates Of The Caribbean movie knowing almost nothing about it and having no expectations other than air conditioning and cheap popcorn (a bit of a miracle to begin with). I think one of my friends said they heard good things about it. Turned out to be remarkably fun, so that’s a pleasant memory right there.
Smartphones.
