Change in Decades

Over the last few decades, we have witnessed a variety of growths. The most dramatic growth occurred in the world of technology. It doesn't seem that long ago that technology had the ability to make our jaws drap to floor in awe. There were no laptops, no cellphones or HD televisions. No one knew what "aspect ratios" were or how they mattered in televisions. There wasn't even internet. Wow, how the world has changed.

Technology has no a become a never-ending competition between companies. A competition that none of the competitors involved will ever win. A competitor comes out with a new product, and its amaizing, but another competitor comes out with almost the same product, only it is better. It has more options, it has more memory, etc. It just has more. Sometimes, a competitor will deliver a product to the consumers, and we are wanting more. Do you see what I mean by a never-ending competition? A no-win situation.

To make matters worst, we do not have to wait for a delivery of product. We now have the ability to buy a product before it is out simply by selecting a few options on a thing called the internet. The internet was something designed as a source of information, which has grown as well as the products that gains us the access. I can go to amazon.com and pre-order a hot item. I can get in my email, where I recieve information concerning hot ticketed items (or at least highly demanded products).

The internet and other technologies have hurt businesses around the world, but then again they have helped others. That is what I will be focusing on for the next nine weeks. But until next week, I will have to leave you this bit of fun information. You can find a timeline of our world and the technoloy growth on the following website http://www.web-friend.com/help/general/tech_history.html.
I hope you enjoy!
Until next time,
Elizabeth
