I am, on a daily basis, acutely aware of many ways in which life is shockingly different from when I was a child. They more or less all have to do with availability of information.

• work from home This was pretty much non-existent in the US. Now, some people have relatively easy access to it and for those people, it's a revolution. I think this trend will continue and if we can escape regulation-to-death, we will live in a world where many more people do many more jobs for many other people.
• google maps It may not seem like much, but the ability to be almost anywhere with cell service and have accurate, searchable maps (with all the extra data google maps serves) is incredible. It speaks to a bigger issues of data availability: when I was a kid, there was a fair amount of time just wasted in figuring out where a establishment was, if it was open, what it might actually be able to offer -- that has been turned into a minute or two of tapping on my phone.
• air bnb / uber kinda stuff Everybody loves to hate on these things, but they've made my life better. I've run AirBnBs out of my house and made extra money. I haven't stayed in a hotel in a decade or something (traveling with kids is way better in AirBnBs). I know these things have major downsides and they aren't as great as advertised, but they do have real benefits that weren't available twenty or thirty years ago.
• recipes Sounds trite, but it used to be a thing: we wanted to make some dessert or something but didn't have the recipe. Get out the phone and make a long distance call to Grandma Lena. Oh damn, she didn't pick up. Not anymore! I can make anything I want at any time with highly accurate descriptions of the technique and video tutorials if I still don't get it.
• amazon I am not a heavy Amazon user, but when I have been working on a project (say remodeling a bathroom or doing an educational project with my kids) the ability to get pretty much any product somewhat quickly is fabulous. I haven't had to wait four weeks for delivery in ages.

I could keep going on. These may seem like small changes in convenience rather than real progress, but I think that humans have hugely revolutionized the way the world is organized by making information massively more available. This progress will continue.
