No kidding. I'm not sure if it's more of an effect of being spoiled, or just the fact that millennials just never had the experience of anything different so the technology isn't appreciated as much. As a gen-x member growing up with rotary-dial corded phones, typewriters (when I got a little older an electric one), no internet and all of its ills, a TV that got three local stations (a few more if switched to UHF), vinyl records and cassettes (the "Walkman" was revolutionary at the time), cameras that used film and disposable flash cubes - I believe I, and you, have a different appreciation of today's technology/toys. I worked two paper routes for months to save $400 to buy my first motorcycle, a mint Suzuki TS250. Today a teenager will drop three times that on a cell phone without blinking, and that phone probably has more hard memory and computing power than was used by mission control to send men to the moon. Of course our parents probably thought we were spoiled as well.

Summers were a breeze. Lugging papers through the snow in the winter was the real bite.

I don't know how you can keep seeing them as impressive a decade or 2 later. At some point as impressive as something may be it's ubiquitous and it's just a tool like a screwdriver may be...

I had one of those when I was a kid. Loved that thing

Every morning I wake up I find myself in the future. I'm new to drone flying and drone photography and I am simply amazed at what the Mavic Air can do. Nothing is good or bad except by comparison (Bud Selig?). As I get older my experience with the past increases and I am impressed with what the future has brought. Bring it on.

I, too, came up through the 350QX w/GoPro ranks!

I fondly recall building my own balsa/paper wing fighters powered by a Cox .049 engine. Those were the days?

Yep 1st world problems alright

Here in Australia, many regions are experiencing an extreme multi year drought where towns have to truck in drinking water. The funny thing is that people in the big cities on the east coast are still watering their lawns and have no idea of whats going on a couple of hundred kms away
