The era of the internet has arrived; technology is moving at such a pace that we as humans are almost unable to even keep up with it anymore. In this post I’m going to cover the future of technology and where we are headed.
The Past State Of Technology
In the past technology was a very small part of our lives with the first computers the size of a gymnasium and not any more powerful than a calculator. We have certainly come a long way since then.
Then came the days of the first personal computers in the early 1980′s. However it wasn’t until the mid nineties that the home computer started really becoming a vital role in the family home with things like Window 95, Microsoft Office, and the Internet.
It didn’t stop there.
The Present State Of Technology
Today technology has evolved 10 fold since the 1990′s. Today almost everyone has a cell phone, and a personal computer. On top of that things like dial up Internet are a thing of the past, and replaced with high speed Internet almost everywhere you go.
When you look back at how far we’ve come since that point you might wonder how much farther can we really go? The answer to that is that we can of course go a lot further.
The Future Of Technology
The future of technology is going to be very different. In the past we had to go were the computer was to use it. In the future things will continue to be more mobile. Things like portable photo printers, iphones, and other mobile devices are just the start start.
As mobile computing progresses, data will no longer be stored on your computer’s hard drive but in a place that has come to be known as “the cloud”. This a virtual place where all data for your computer will be stored and will be accessible to you from any point in the world at anytime on any computer, or hand held device.
This may sound strange but if I would have told you 20 years ago that everyone will have their own personal mobile phone and will be able to run their entire office from any location, would you have believed me?
In The End…
While I can’t say what specific types of technology will be around in 10 years from now one things is for sure, technology is becoming more mobile by the day and eventually will be the present state of technology.
