MP3 player was a life changer. I went from a huge CD players not being able to fit in my pocket to a tiny bean that connects to pc with hundreds of songs, and i was blow away!

    GPS. In the 80s, I learned how to navigate by taking the bearing of landmarks. It took some time and gave you only a general idea where you were.

    When I got my first GPS device in the late 90s, it was breathtaking. And at that time, the accuracy was still degraded for civilians.

    The idea that a navigation device can show on which side of the road you are on - in real time! -feels like magic.

      Oh my god, this.
      It was like magic when I first used one; a real ‘the future is now’ moment.
