Yeah, I think photography is a good analogy for capturing (no pun intended) this trend. And maybe I'm just being overly sentimental, but I feel like because it's so easy to do things with our devices now without knowing how they work, that they're often under-appreciated.
For example, there's this popular interview that Louis C.K did on Conan, where he said "Everything's awesome, and nobody's happy". Sure, most of that frustration can be attributed to the human condition, but ignorance also plays a big role. If people knew (and I don't) how planes actually worked (at at basic level, of course), it's harder to get frustrated about spotty Wifi.
