With the Modern Wave of Technological Advancements, What Does the Future Hold?

In the modern realm of technology, it is becoming more and more obvious that the direction we are heading in is opening up a larger world to our eyes more and more. The possibilities of the directions we will head to with technology can be considered limitless. There is a whole infinite universe out there of natural occurrences; here on earth there is a whole universe of animals and insects and the natural cellular world. Then there is technology, which is a man made universe of information exchange that is engulfing our time more and more.

We now have revolutionary touch screen devices that will eventually, no doubt, change the way we use a lot of things in the future. Touch screen phones ultimately eliminate the need for a keyboard and mouse. We have smartphones which are essentially a computer that can fit into our pockets. As this is being presented to you the current rave is 4g smart phones, especially touch screen ones. These phones are capable of providing you and others with internet speeds that exceed most normal household internet speeds, make phone calls and do any number of other things which were not thought of a few years ago.

The evolution of our communication technologies like TV, cell phone and HD cameras has occurred at an alarming rate. Is it really so alarming though? We are experiencing technology that is out of date in virtually minutes. 60 years ago TVs were scarce and the ones who had a TV had only 1 channel. Just take a look around and imagine where we will be as far as technology is concerned in another 60 years.

It is unavoidably felt among many that the technology is simply being wasted. Should humans put down their habits of texting mindless terabytes, we will start to see technology being pushed to its limits and actually being used. We might come to find certain aspects of technology are almost pointless. I, personally, am under the impression that texting is simply a technology to make up for an undeveloped brain which cannot express thoughts to another person without words yet. In a few hundred more years our brains will have developed enough to allow telepathy - and much more as well, probably. As far as the people with the smartphones who use them all day long, the phones are really, truly, only as smart as the person using them.
