How do you define "technology". Because if it means "any human invention" then I have to give it to my squatty-potty. I have Crohn's Disease and "quality of pooping life" is a very important factor. And it's just a lot comfier when your legs aren't falling asleep due to an unnatural position.

If it has to be something from "the tech industry", then my very first smartphone, circa 2012. After decades of oldschool cell phones, it was a real game-changer. Doubly so because I'm in Brazil, where texting was never really a thing, so for the first time I had access to the likes of WhatsApp and could be in touch with my mates, whereas previously the cell was really just for calls, which is to say, emergencies.

Back in the day, a smartphone was a major upgrade. They continue to improve which is just amazing. I came from an age of wall phones and dial-up internet.

Electric Peper grinder, now I don't have to feel like I'm working out to get that nice peppery taste.
