i have a little tablet in my pocket that gives me access to the sum total of all human knowledge and can contact anyone else more or less anywhere on/around the planet for instant voice communication.

We can take organs out of dead people and put them in living people and have them survive.

I can be anywhere on the planet within 48 hours

We have cars that can drive themselves

We have robots being controlled live(ish) on mars

We have planes that can stay airbourne indefinately

And there's many more examples

Phones can also video call, lead you to just about anywhere you want to go on the planet, and store millions of pictures/videos/writings of a person's personal history. Unprecedented.

Yup, i was in three completely unfamiliar cities in the last month that speak languages i do not speak.

I was never lost once, i was able to learn how to take public transport, and i was able to effectively communicate with people who do not speak english
