My answer:

All this technology: Radios, Television, Pocket computers that you can just pull knowledge from that also perfroms the functions of various other gadgets which are also made possible by modern technology. And of course, THE INTERNET!

Standardization:

USB-C is awesome! :D

The world just uses AC power.

Metric system

Countries all around the world agreeing to a certain set of rules: Such as in Aviation, the world agreed to use Aviation English and standard phraseology, emergency frequency is 121.5, 3-Letter codes that is unique to every commercial airport in the world.

Treaties:

My favorite thing is the ~~Kyoto Protocol~~ [Edit: Montreal Protocol, mixed that one up]. We stopped the ozone from getting fucked. Now we need to do the same with climate change... ๐Ÿ‘€

Co-operation:

I was at a traffic light and it's just amazing how (almost) everyone just follows the lights, and not just try to run red lights. Yay! (okay i know its just called "obeying the law" but still, I find this interesting)

International Space Station... (at least until a certain country withdrew... ๐Ÿ‘€)

GPS and navigation in general. I cannot live without it.

Messaging apps. Those who've been in a long distance... You know, not having to use sh!t like SMS or pay stupid amounts of money for roaming is a godsend.

High refresh rate screens. Doesn't matter what it is, every screen should be at least 90Hz. Preferably 120Hz. Especially on smartphones. 60Hz is completely unacceptable if you're paying any more than 100~150$ for a phone.

I got a nothing phone 2a for like 250$ new and that's got a 120Hz amoled display... 60Hz on a 600$ phone is a joke
