Actually, quite a bit. We use laser profilers to measure and plot the shape of the working face, computer programs to plan and plot blasting patterns, computer chipped blasting caps for more precise control of blasting, and electronic systems to measure and plot boreholes. These are changes within the past 10 years or so. Compare that to techniques used 100 years ago.
