Back in '08 on the Columbia River, I thought those new GPS dredge guidance systems were just expensive toys. Took a job with a crew using one and they cut a 500-foot trench in half the time.

Wow, it's wild how often new tech seems silly until it just works.

Totally, @fisher.jessica. I still remember mocking touchscreens.

Back in 2007, my dad swore he'd never give up his Blackberry keyboard. He said typing on glass was for kids. Now he sends me novels by text using just his thumbs. The real shift wasn't the tech itself, but how it changed what we were willing to do. We used to plan everything in advance on a computer, but now we just do stuff on the fly because the phone is always there. It made being spontaneous the normal way to operate.
