Previous generations would be in awe of our technology

The convenience we enjoy in today's society is something that has never failed to astound me.

The quantum leaps in technological progress over the past century are unmatched in the vast span of human civilization.

I use the century as my measure, as that is the period of time I can most easily relate to, given that my grandparents began their lives just over 100 years ago in the early 1920s, and the experiences of their lives were related to me by them as I was growing up.
