We talk a lot about enshittification of technology, so tell me about technology that is getting better!
I personally love the progress of electric scooters. I've been zooming around on a 400$ escooter for a year and it works so well. It has a range of around 20 miles and top speed of 15 mph, so it works just super well for my uses, and 10 years ago scooters with that range/speed/price were no where near a thing.

Batteries. That's the next stage in human advancement. Different battery technology
No kidding. Remember when an electric drill took 4 D cell batteries and you could more easily make holes with a screw driver? Now you can mow your lawn, cut down a tree, and brush your teeth on the same charge
I actually bought an escooter about 10 years ago.
Thing couldn't get me anywhere.
Oh true! Which is also why my scooter is so powerful for the price.
20 miles on a charge on a device I bought for $400? Absurd.
for real, solid state batteries are going to be a game changer
