Technology

     What will life be like 15 years from now?  Technology has already changed so much of the way in which society functions within the past 15 years; therefore, it is reasonable to say that it will change so much more over the next 15 years or so.  My family got our first computer approximately 15 years ago.  This gateway was incredibly slow, when compared to today's standards with minimal storage space.  The hard drive was merely a 6 Gb hard drive.  By today's standards that would be deemed as extremely poor.  Manufacturers now make flash drives that are capable of holding up to 32 Gb, ipods can be purchased with over 100 Gb of memory space.  Technology is changing, and it is doing so swiftly.  With these small changes comes alterations to life as we know it.  You can save mostly everything that is on your hard drive to a flash drive that can be carried with you on a key chain.  With this techno-revolution comes availability and ease around every corner.  This essentially allows for technology to grow at an exponential rate.  Who knows where technology will lead us next?  With the advances that are being made now it is merely a matter of coming up with the creative idea for a useful item.  The implementation for this item would most likely be fairly simple. 

     No one knows where technologies will eventually lead, but everyone has their theories.  The quicker society progresses in this trend, more and more out of science fiction movies become realities.  Whoever comes up with the next ipod or the next google will be set.  As I said, it is no longer a matter of having the capability to produce the next technology rather it is a matter of coming up with the idea for it.  And as always, the most useful, simple technologies fathomed are the ones that blossom the quickest and take the longest to become extinct.  Google is a simple idea with a simple means to use it, but is very helpful in many situations.  Thus, ideas like google will be around forever.  Seemingly, physical constraints of technology is no longer an issue today rather technology is limited by society's creativity...
