Knowledge and wisdom is the one I’ve heard before.

Botanically, sure, but from a culinary perspective they’re used like a vegetable.

There are people who have seen Russia collapse twice, and if we’re lucky, there will be people who see it three times.

Smartphones are basically magic at this point, especially the system on chip type devices.

Computers had, and mostly still have, a bunch of discrete components you could identify, smartphones are a tiny magic box on a board, with everything else connected to it. The photos they take are amazing, too.

It’s weird reading work by authors like Asimov, where people travel between planets as a matter of routine, and we have sentient robots, but not mobile phones.
