What's the coolest piece of technology you work with

I get to use one of these everyday at my job. Not really that powerful, but it’s perfectly suited for 90% of the data acquisition end of the work I do. Just two years ago, I had to us about 30 lbs of equipment to do what I can do with this handy paperback sized box. Up to 40 minutes of time data at 48 khz for four channels. Perfect!

I may have the coolest, depending on how you define “work with” and “technology”. Does it count if the machine isn’t even built yet, and when it is, I’ll never be in the same state as any of the hardware? Because some of the work I do is for the LISA gravitational wave detector, which, once built, will be the largest and most precise device ever made by man.

Now why would we need something that could detect a hyperspace emergence.

I used to be in charge of E-Beam lithography using a MEBES (a multi-million dollar, room-sized piece of equipment). Now, however, my coolest piece of technology is probably my iPhone…
