For me, it's the Chase Bank app on the iPhone. I can deposit my paycheck without going to the bank. It's fucking awesome.
Technology that made you think, "Holy crap, I'm in the future."

My Nintendo DS.....two screens.....that is [HEADING=3]bodacious![/HEADING]
Touch screen, too?
[HEADING=3]Radical![/HEADING]
The only thing that would complete that duo of awesome quality would be the almighty:
3-D
A 3DS won't happen for years, though. Absolutely not. Plus, they would never release Metal Gear Solid 3 on it, either.

WiFi. Maybe everybody here is too young, but when I went to College, I was excited for just having a permanent, high-speed connection in the dorm. The Internet was already common, but you had to be set up to get it. Laptops were portable, but you carried them in a special bag with your ethernet cable so you could plug into the internet at the library or a friend's place.
Now, I can go into any coffee shop and get free, high speed, wireless internet. My laptop just gets thrown in a back pack with no accessories. My iPod Touch gives me my email, sometimes when I've stopped at a red light and it finds an unsecure connection. This is amazing. And it's become completely incorporated with our way of life. There's no going back, WiFi already isn't a neat gadget, it's the norm. My parents have a wireless router. It's a whole new world with no turning back that is completely accepted by everyone, and it's less than 5 years old.
Holy crap.

OT:
Seriously though, probably the other day, when I was walking some dogs and was carrying on a conversation with text while also listening to music on my phone. Or just last night when I was lying there sick as fuck just texting. I don't know why, but cell phones are always the things that come to mind when I think of "future" shit that we have now.
Also this shit:
the first time i heard of Kinect (or Project Natal as it was called at the time)
it just felt amazing that i could actually use my voice to tack with the people in the game and such.

Dude, I have eyefinity with 3 SCREENS!!! Awesome rite? xDTagball said:
I hope browsing through menus with natale will be awesome.
Interesting fact: That flame you see when it's firing isn't backblast of any kind. It's the air behind the munition being turned to plasma by the air friction.Sneaky-Pie said:The US Navy's Railgun weapon. That's some incredible stuff.

OT: As said by bojac6, wi-fi. At first glance, it's a way to remove a few cables, but it's so much more. It's the power to interact with anyone, anywhere, from anywhere.
My HTC Tattoo phone. Its a tiny touchscreen computer with phone bits and barely ten years ago not many people had mobile phones, but now everyone has tiny computers with them. Its crazy!!
Honestly? Kinect. I don't know how well it'll work as a gaming platform, but the ability to control what is essentially your entire home entertainment system with your voice or the swipe of a hand is something that's just mind-blowing to me.
