Having to sit at a desk (with a computer) to access the Internet, rather than being able to bring a device with you, to access the Internet wherever you want.

Math education, probably. I don’t have any numbers, but there are probably far more people taking calculus in high school than there used to be, and a lot of them are probably taking it earlier than senior year. At least that was my experience compared with my parents’.
Almost everything has seen significant improvements. Technology has improved at an astounding rate. The only down side of improvement is higher expenses for more complicated tech. Phones are so much better than they used to be. We don’t have to carry a brick anymore but they cost a fortune now
Cars, “They don’t build them like the used to”, because crumple zones save lives.
I’m still amazed at how many people I know still think cars are better before because they were “harder to break.” Yeah, you can sit on the hood of an old car and it won’t do anything to it, but try crashing at 80km/h and you’re gonna wish that unbreakable object broke. Anything higher and you might not have a chance to wish for anything. Lol.
Also survivorship bias. A few old cars lasted for a really long time, but you don’t see or think about the majority that didn’t.
Being LGBTQ+, or not white, or not a man, or disabled.
Most things?
