The record player, tape recorder, walk man, disc man, boom box, pager, walkie talkie, phone booth, rotary phone, not so smart phones, type writers, overhead projectors, desktop computers, etc...do you remember some of these devices? Do you remember asking yourself, "how can technology get any better than this?" Well it has and will continue to evolve every day that goes by. We can either sit back in amazement or educate ourselves and move forward with it!

I personally thank God for Smart phones and the World Wide Web. Communication between family and friends, both near and far, has never been so easy! From free long-distance video calls through Skype to free text messaging through Whatsapp (yeah...I like free stuff), I'm pretty confident most of you would agree with me if I say today's technology is actually pretty cool.

On a more professional note, through the use of my Smart phone, I can access my email at any given time, type up my homework for Gateway to Technology class, communicate with parents, collaborate with teachers, research, find resources, create important documents, play games, listen to music, read the bible, and go on facebook...(I can be professional on facebook =P)

So how has technology (Smart phones and internet) solved my problems? I no longer have to always wait until I'm at home, in front of my laptop to accomplish what needs to be done.

It's strange to think that in the past years we were able to function without cell phones, Smart phones, and the internet. Now it's hard to imagine life without it. =) Shall I dare ask the question, "How can technology get any better than this?"?
