Agree. I started with personal computing in 1983 and what was so exciting about that time, I think, was that each new generation of hardware could do something incredibly cool the prior generation fundamentally could not. I remember feeling a nearly constant level of excitement about tech, always so stoked to see what was coming next and what incredible new capability it would bring to the table. And Moore's Law didn't hurt either, those clock rate increases! Today's tech is amazing, but the progress is mostly incremental and that doesn't tend to get the blood pumping.
