Not your mother's technology . . . . .

We have talked alot about being 21st century learners and how you learn differently than your parents did. You also require different ways to learn. However, there are still many things that were invented during your parent's time that have changed very little to date. What about washers and dryers. OK, they have become fancier and hotter and prettier but don't they still just wash and dry the cloths? Can you think of anything else that is like this?

Comment on one item in your house that has changed very little over the years and still functions in much the same way (maybe fancier) and one item that has changed drastically. Please post your thoughts on the change and what caused the items to advance--why was it necessary to change?
