Technology

Currently, we live in a generation so focused on and filled with technology. Hence the reason why this decade is known as “the age of technology.” One of the most important pieces of technology we use in our everyday society is our cellphones. Everywhere you look in our everyday lives people are so consumed in their phones, they play such an important role in our lives.

Cell phones were first created in the 1970’s, but this was just a plain phone in which you could call someone on the go. This eventually over time became more advanced and in 1992, the first smart phone was created. But, it was almost nothing like it is today. Still, you could only call on the phone and not much else. The first IPhone came out in 2007, changing the technology for smartphones completely. This was a design created by Steve Jobs, one of the most influential people that this decade has ever seen for technology. Unfortunately, Steve Jobs passed away in 2011, but his work was continued by his company. Today, Iphones are everywhere we look. This is a device that is so important across the world and has influenced other types of technology. The Iphone makes it so we have a computer in our pocket. We have information for everything and anything right in our pocket. We get to make phone calls, receive and send texts, get weather, news, and access to the internet. It is absolutely groundbreaking technology for our time.

It is hard to guess what comes next for technology. Everything is advancing so fast in our society due to us being so focused on advancing technology. What I see coming next is holograms from phones. This would be something in which you could have a conversation in person without being with the person. This would be something similar to facetime except a full body and more realistic experience. It is hard to say how this technology will be created. But, I definitely see it coming down the line and most likely sooner rather than later. This would be also very groundbreaking in our modern day society.
