What's a piece of technology you LOVE the progress of?
  • This will sound a little mundane but, FLASHLIGHTS! Particularly bicycle head lights. The prices before LED's were just STUPID. Hundreds of dollars for small amounts of light (which to be fair was the best you could get at the moment). Which were being used for night mountain biking. But all I needed was to get to and from work safely at night, I didnt have $400 for a headlight that would actually let me see the ground in front of me.

    BUT, then came the revolution. China started putting out these LED lights that blew everything else out of the water ... FOR CHEAP! In two years light prices went from $400 to $100 for top of the line lighting. US bike light companies were a year or two out before they could re-tool to match the lumens coming out of china. Mind you, the Chinese lights were not always the most reliable. BUT they were 1/4th the cost of a name brand light. So even if it died, you could still buy ANOTHER one for less than the price of a high end name brand light.

    And since the LED revolution, things have not changed much. Prices either go down or stay the same and the lumens increase OR the burn time increases. Its just a win win for customers/consumers.

  • While this is technically a free game, fanatical wants you to link your steam account. So if you don't feel like giving Fanatical all your steam info, whatever they are asking for, then you cant have it. Oh and they also want you to subscribe to their newsletter. Annoying.

  • Listen here youngster. You are doing just fine. You are here, you are finding threads. You will get the hang of it. It's the internet it grows and changes. Hopefully for the better.

    I would say you are doing a lot better than struggling! I hope you find more interesting threads!
