I'm a hardware engineer, so my point of view is biased a bit towards atoms and what they can do for me: Cell data networks and Starlink are pretty awesome. Mostly-good connectivity just about anywhere is a huge advance. wifi is great. The ubiquity of brushless motors, controllers, and (for some applications) batteries means that my fridge, HVAC, and power tools are loads better than they used to be. More software-y: Remote meeting software means I rarely go on business trips any more, which is nice because flying is way worse than it used to be. Google Maps / Apple Maps / OSM have made it dramatically easier to get around, especially unfamiliar places. After two or three decades of nonsense, I finally have a decent no-frills printer driver that works.
