Technology has come a long way since I was a kid. Back when I was in primary school, computers were still a new thing. Not many people had them. Well, at least my family didn’t.
We couldn’t afford one. And when we did get our hands on one, it was a second hand, slow old thing we were given for free.
Just about the only thing you could do on it was play games like Solitaire and Mine sweep. Mostly I just used it to type up school assignments, so I didn’t have to hand write them.
Then I’d save it to a floppy disk to hand into my teacher. Those were the good old days.
Fast forward 20 years later and now the world is consumed by the ever-evolving face of technology and media.
Those big old, clunky computers have been transformed to fit right in the palm of your hand, making the world accessible in an instant.
“Smartphones now generate almost twice the volume of mobile traffic to that of PCs, tablets and routers – and that is predicted to grow.”
An article from Ineos.com says.
The world has become so reliant on this new-age technology, that if it glitches out, whole businesses are crippled, resulting in loss of revenue, income and productivity.
It’s crazy to think; how did we survive for thousands of years without it?
There’s no denying technology and media has changed our way of living. It has given power back to the consumers.
Some could argue for the better, some for worse.
Either way, there seems to be no signs of slowing down, with demands constantly growing for bigger, better, faster. The question is, when is it enough?
