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’.
Also, this is unrelated, but it’s strange that this post has (at the moment) 20 comments but only 5 votes.
What’s more strange is that 5 people today commented on this 4 month old post.
I was really lonely and scrolling up really old posts in this community to talk in, and maybe others sort their feeds by recent comments meaning my activity pushed it up.

I’ll start by saying that GUIs have gotten a lot better since the 90s. Many people seem to think Windows 95 or 2000 was the pinnacle of the user interface design, but it was clunky and terrible and I much prefer literally any contemporary GUI.
A lot more is understood about how users interact with GUIs and how to best make them, but this is often exploited for monetary gain rather than end user experience.

Discord is actually a great counterexample to my point, I hate that app.
Cars, “They don’t build them like the used to”, because crumple zones save lives.
