Sometimes when I am using my phone, I can't help but to take a moment to stop what I am doing and think about how amazing the technology I am holding in my hand is. It is taken for granted so much in today's society. I find technology so fascinating and it is good to appreciate it once in a while. Maybe I am just weird like that. Anyways, do any of you do this?
Does anybody else do this?

Not just modern technology, but how well things are made....the smoothness, the symmetry, the finish....has always amazed me.

Yes. That is also amazing. Modern engineering and design are extremely underappreciated.

Is even more mind blowing when you think that this technology pretty much progressed in the last 60 or so years.

I agree this is one of the most amazing pieces of technology that has become almost something we take for granted. The amount of information/communication/work that it can do is mind boggling.
But this does come with a down side and that is accessibility 24/7 from all sources...include work life. My business life interrupts me constantly, days, nights, weekends, and even holidays now. I was skiing this past weekend and this stupid thing is pinging the @#$T out of me on the lift. Here I'm getting away from life for a day enjoying the outdoors and the beauty of nature and the snowfall and some client is pestering me. This is happening to many of my circle of friends/family and it's disruptive.
Turn it off you say? Puhleeze, the expectation now is availability at all times, I'm not alone, it's a common cry. If I don't respond there's others that will and it'll cost me business. It's disruptive to family & friends. We grabbed a pizza the other day, there was a table of 6 kids next to us and there were times where all six had their heads buried in these things and weren't saying a word to each other, the interaction was half person to person and half dopebox. You can't tell me there's a downside to this wonderful technology.
I'm fascinated by this incredible technology and despise it other times.
