I think about people who have lived through the evolution of technology. I learned to type on a manual typewriter in school. Then the typewriter I received for graduation was electric—how easy it was to tap the keys! Next, it had a correction feature! In the 1970s, personal computers became available, and Microsoft was founded in 1976, helping to make desktop computing available to the masses. The ability to produce printed documents went from being expensive and time-consuming to being able to create them by talking.
When I graduated from college, my resume was typeset by a professional printer and cost me a fortune. Today, I can have an improved version printed in my home, and AI could even write it for me.
Much of what we take for granted was a stunning delight at some point. Whether in technology, medicine, science, travel, or any number of fields, pause for a moment today to appreciate the wonders that surround you every day. You’re living among miracles.
