No idea what OP was thinking of, but it's easy to think of examples.

Any kind of air travel or trans-oceanic travel is a great example.

In door plumbing is another good one.

Instant communication is another.

Everything sort of has become instant. Instant entertainment (netflix, hulu), instant travel (Uber,Lyft,flights), instant communication (slack, whatsapp, FaceTime).

We live in an age of instant gratification. It only keeps on getting better.
