My How Far We’ve Come
So this youtube clip popped up in my Google Reader aggrigate today:
And it really got me to thinking about how far technology has come over twenty years. Hell, even since I started college in 2000 things have rapidly changed.
I remarked to my friend, Amanda, about how crazy it was for me to be chatting with her from a mini laptop while I was in my bed. Ten years ago, just having a laptop was kind of crazy. Most people had desktops at school, and I didn’t get my first till my senior year when i bought my roommate’s old crappy one for a couple hundred bucks.
And I’m not going to get started on my iPhone. Seriously, if you had told me ten years ago I’d be carrying around a phone that does what my iPhone does, I’d be kind of impressed. I probably wouldn’t believe you because the thought of having that kind of internet speed mobile all around would be too much. Mind you, when I first started college, Wireless technology was still in it’s infancy.
But yeah, 20 years of technology and we’ve come quite a ways.
