I pondered and thought for a while today about what I could blog about. I thought about doing another boring topic out of the book, even though I can spice anything up and make it awesome I thought I would do something a little bit different. I thought that today in this blog I would talk about my views of the changing of technology.
It seems like a long time ago to me but in the early days of technology they didn't know near what they know now. I came across some pictures of earlier hard drives and storage devices and some of those things were as big as a two story house. They got better over the years and got the size down to a half of a story, then down to size of a monitor. Now hard drives are about the size of two cell phones or the length of a brick but the width of a cell phone. I'm not to good with explaining the size but you get the general picture. Storage has gotten so good it is inexpensive and the storage on them are so good. You can get a 16gb flash drive for thirty bucks or so and use to pay 400 for a 256mb. Also they have external hard drives that are thicker than the regular hard drives and they have some out now for 100 dollars with a terrabyte storage. I'm not sure I could ever fill up a terrabyte of storage and it is so ideal to use. Cell phones are changing to. They use to be huge dinosaurs and now they have some that are the size of your finger.
Technology is vastly changing and who knows how far they will come when I have gotten to the age where my parents are. Maybe then I will be telling my kids how technology use to be and they will probably laugh at me and say that is crazy how bad it sucked when you were growing up. Until then I can only lay back and watch and remember the greatness of technology in this day.

As you can see in the picture above not to many people have cell phones that look like this anymore.
I have to agree with you, Casey. It appears technology is progressing at a faster pace now then just a few years ago. And yes, a 1TB external hard drives are awesome. A great price for almost an infinite amount of storage space.
