But nowadays, what I really think amazed be, and still does, is the way we are able to go from a thought to its implementation through the use of a programming languages in about no time.
Think of any other field other than software engineer where you can go from hypothesis to modelling and then testing in about a few hours or days ? There ain't many. (On a side note that's why its becoming more and more prevalent to use programming to model and study real world situation ; e.g. economics, standing-ovations, etc ).
