I'm not typically amazed by any piece of hardware since I understand how most of it works, but modern LCD screens are pretty damn mindblowing. Plasma displays even more so.
My Blackberry is sitting next to me and it's impressive when you think about it. The thing that fits into my pocket can communicate back and fourth with a tower a LONG way away, yet I can retrieve websites fairly quickly (A friend uses a Rogers Rocket Hub for his home connection and gets 7 megabits down from the cell network, If the signal was better he would be getting HSPA or HSPA+ and "Up to 22 Mbps"), lasts for three days of moderate use and notifies me of an email seconds after someone sends it. Watching streaming video from Youtube in a car moving through the middle of nowhere while using instant messaging is also pretty nifty.
Light Bulbs

Mobile internet period is mind boggling to me. How the hell can it maintain a relatively consistent stream from a radio station overseas, when your moving 70 MPH down a highway, while switching towers, which are sent through fiber optics or microwave relays to a hub many miles away with fiber optics, keeping your same IP address, at a fairly reasonable speed (0.5-1 Mb/s) and the process being near seemless to the end user.
That's crazy to me.
My phone also has a better upload speed than I did with my cable internet 2 years ago.
Most electronic things...
I mean, I get how computers work down to a certain point...
But in terms of how computers manipulate electrons to run operations and stuff? Fuck... :psyboom:
Motherboards.
CPU's.
LED's.

They are so goddamn intricate. And the fact that they can pack more and more into a CPU year after year is mindboggling.
