Ok,one amazing thing you probably take for granted. The processor in your computer.

I came across this link which does quite a god job of explaining the sizes of various organisms, cells, atoms etc. If you zoom right in, right about the hepatitis virus, is 2008-2009 processors, ribosome is 2010-2011 processors. By that I mean that in the very latest processors you have around 1 billion transistors (electrical switches) the size of a ribosome cell.

Think about that next time you are using it to browse internet junk! Yes that is irony.
