I use technology every day. I make technology every day.
But, during some briefs moments of clarity, I see that we take for granted more than what's intuitive or obvious.
In other words, I appreciate HTTP and servers moving information around, but I tend to forget that the mere existence of startups, airplanes, or modern cars are (relatively) extremely new as well.
What are extremely underappreciated pieces of technology out there? And who are the gods in our current society?
