I read a lot of fantasy which is generally in a medieval setting.
Sometimes I'll just stop and appreciate that I can turn a handle and get limitless clean drinking water, or that I drive 35 miles to work every day, which would normally be an all-day trip.
Not to mention things like instant long distance communication.
Just a few hundred years ago they would freaking be amazed to know you can videochat to someone at the other end of the world while traveling at high speed in the air and eating food out of season.
A few hundred years ago? What you stated would be magic to someone less than 100 years ago. Even 50 years ago it was just science fiction.
We had barely working internet on mobile phones in 2005. People forget quickly.
I saw a horse carrier driving on the highway the other day and all I could think was, that horse is so lucky he doesn't have to walk all that distance. His ancestors had to pull humans and now a human is pulling him.
