I think I have felt that way for one thing or another since 98.
Internet itself blew my mind, playing age of empires with my buddy with just one phone call, then finding about mIRC, peer 2 peer, torrents, stuff i cant remember, and video games getting better graphics at ever increasing steps. I still get a little shocked when I see PS2 games listed as retro games.

And now they are making advances way more often in quantum computing.
I just remembered the first time I heard about a terabyte and the story that "the only place that can hold that ammount of massive storage are the vatican servers" (whatever those may be) lol.
