What Happened to Engineering?

Im sad inventors in modern era don’t play with the "elemental plane" as much — toying with electricity, or the elements directly. We've abstracted it all to software which has kneecapped hardware innovation leaving innovations like the M1 202301130214 to companies with a ton of resources like Apple.

Perhaps I'm jealous that I feel I can't invent anything interesting outside of 0s and 1s -- or perhaps a story or two.
