The novelty still hasn't worn off
Ordinary things with digital display, so you can see "Boobs" on them.
Recently purchased bathroom scales and a thermometer. I don't trust either of them. It's just a number, it could be telling me any lies it wants. Can't see the mercury or feel the groan under my weight.

All those millions of people steering lumps of metal, glass and plastic around the world, and simply through their powers of observation, motor skills (sorry) and following a fairly complex set of rules, not crashing into each other. Most of the time.
In a related vein, when I was little and my Dad could drive all the way from a street in Maidenhead to a holiday village in Cornwall, and not look at a map.

We did indeed, and I could do it myself now easily. Mind you the A33 between Reading and the M3 can be a bit tricky.
I used to drive from Maidenhead to a farmhouse in the Dordogne* just by looking for the name of the next town. But we did go there three years in a row.
*one simply had to go to the Dordogne darling

During one last-week-of-term "fun" school activity, we actually had a challenge as to who could make the most words on a calculator.
I lost by one after my 0.804=HOBO and 0.08=BOO were disallowed for using decimal points.
The prize for the winner was an hour playing Lemmings on the school's brand spanking new Acorn Archimedes. Mrs Fletcher, you utter utter bastard.
