Bluetooth earbuds. Took me the longest time to buy a pair. Now I have them all the time.
I thought airpods/cordless buds were stupid when they first came out, I thought I would instantly lose the buds. now I can’t live without them.
Vaccines. My uncle had Polio as a child and so my Grandmother was still advocating strongly for vaccines before her death at 98. I’m happy to have received my first Shingrix shot last week. It’s amazing we can get a poke, with something that’s completely gone from the body in a week but we will have T-cells protecting us for a very long time.
- The Lord of the Rings trilogy
- The Harry Potter books and films
The Wire. It really is the greatest TV show ever made like people say it is.
The Nintendo Switch when it came out. I was super hyped and somehow the console even exceeded my expectations.
Playing Breath of the Wild for the first time was amazing and even after 6 years the console still feels modern to me.
Tv, The internet, the smallpox vaccine
Milk.
MRNA vaccines. Not only have they saved millions of lives from COVID, they look like they are going to revolutionize other areas as well. For example, there is a wide-range cancer vaccine under development.
LeBron. He came out of HS as the “chosen one” and dominated the NBA most of his career. He could have easily have crumbled under the pressure and instead ended up being a top 3 all time player.
Smartphones.
