I think it is progress that with a single small cable I plug my laptop in and get 65W of power, multiple monitors, wired networking, and multiple USB devices. Everything that previously required a beefy big proprietary docking station just gets delivered by a single small cable. I can use that with my work laptop, my personal laptop, my wife's work computer, my wife's tablet, my handheld gaming device. I think it is progress that now practically all my portable electronics are charged with the same charging cable, I don't need to bring several different chargers to keep my laptop and my phone and my e-reader charged when travelling.
