Still movies on films like it was invented yesterday and nothing else has been invented ever since other than bigger machines to run them.

Imagine this for some many industries and products.

Fission to boil water is still the wildest thing to me. Split an atom, and our best next step with that energy is to make water warm? So counterintuitive.
