We talk a lot about enshittification of technology, so tell me about technology that is getting better!
I personally love the progress of electric scooters. I’ve been zooming around on a 400$ escooter for a year and it works so well. It has a range of around 20 miles and top speed of 15 mph, so it works just super well for my uses, and 10 years ago scooters with that range/speed/price were no where near a thing.
I’m glad electric vehicles are progressing. I often wonder how things might have been had we never stopped the innovations here. Batteries and distance on a single charge might have been much better. We’d probably have found something better than lithium ions by now, far advanced. Our roads likely would be electrified and able to charge as we drive…
It’s nice to see more serious innovations in this sector now. One of those things that definitely feels like the future I envisioned as a child.
