Isn't that enough? (And you left out quantum computing. Smart phones. GPS. Composite materials. Autonomous vehicles. I could go on.)



Not to mention a whole new JavaScript framework every other week.


Laughed out loud at this. Nailed it.


Humans: A short lived species that produced some interesting grammars.


Yes the planet got destroyed. But for a beautiful moment in time we figured out how to center HTML elements both horizontally AND vertically!

I wrote it in 2016. I should make a new list.


I did not leave out quantum computing which is nowhere near practical right now and maybe never will be.

GPS is a good technology. Autonomous vehicles work fine for the 90% use case, but will likely never reach that last 10%.


Quantum computers and autonomous vehicles are more promise than fact, otherwise you might want to throw fusion energy in there as well.
