I read a lot of fantasy which is generally in a medieval setting.

Sometimes I'll just stop and appreciate that I can turn a handle and get limitless clean drinking water, or that I drive 35 miles to work every day, which would normally be an all-day trip.

Not to mention things like instant long distance communication.

Just a few hundred years ago they would freaking be amazed to know you can videochat to someone at the other end of the world while traveling at high speed in the air and eating food out of season.
