Booting any form of computer. It's a miracle each time, and taken for granted that it works every time too. I used to have machines that failed to boot, usually due to plain wear and tear, but I get a new device roughly every ~5 years so it's a non-issue now.

Of all the classes I ever took, nothing ever blew my mind like that. Building your own processor and taking an operating systems course really builds an appreciation for the giants shoulders we stand on.
