Technology

It is so amazing how far the human race has come. As I sit here in my living room, I can access almost everything in the world from my computer, and also my smart phone. Twenty years ago, the internet and computers were in their infant stages, and today so much can be accomplished with just a touch of a button.

I watched a documentary several weeks ago that was about the 100 most influential inventions in the last several hundred years. It was curious for me to find out that the #1 invention is not electricity, the computer, or radio, but the smart phone.

As I thought about this claim, that the smart phone is the most important invention in recent history, I realized that the fact that we can access everything from a small hand-held device, is so amazing. Our smart phones have more computing power than the early super computers that filled an entire room.They can surf the internet almost as fast as our laptops and PC's. The smart phone has revolutionized the way the world operates.

I am so excited to see what will come in the future in the ways of technology. We truly do live in the Information Age.
