A by-product of living in the 21st century is that technology is changing at the most incredible pace. Things that are state of the art today are outdated and old hack a couple of years later. Recently Sony made the announcement that they will cease production on the Walkman. It doesn’t seem that long ago that this was the latest and best thing going around.

But have a look at how music is listened to in the 21st century. You have iPods where you can store thousands of songs. You can search through your files in the blink of an eye. Then you can even listen to music on your phone. Forget about the record player and gramophone. They are antiques.

Having a look at life in the year two thousand, it is hardly recognisable to life in the year 2010. Consider how much more time you would have in the day as you were not passing time updating your profile or taking a look at other peoples’s footage.

Entertainment is one are particularly when technology moves extremely fast. The televisions of yesterday simply can’t be compared with those of today. The HD and LCD tvs of today offer the most exceptionally crisp picture. It feels like you are in the cinema or if you’re watching a sports event it feels like you are in the middle of the field.

When it comes to LCD televisions technology has made them more affordable as not only are they superior to earlier models but they are also cheaper. That isn’t a bad deal. This is generally how technology works. The commercial realties of it are that it becomes more affordable so people are going to buy it.

There is not any point to it if it will not have that mass-market appeal. That’s what occurred with the private PC. As quickly as the price dropped, it became something that nearly every household in the world had.

The business implications of this were that folk became awfully made. It makes things amazingly convenient though one drawback of this is that you never truly turn off. More recent telephones like the Droid and the iPhone are weird apropos the programs they offer.

Newer phones such as the Droid and the iPhone are freaky in terms of the Apps they offer. You can scan something with a phone and it can bring up where you can buy it and what the cheapest price is. Then there is another app where the phone will tell you where the closest supermarket is. In truth there is nothing you can’t do or find with a phone app. Some of them feel too science-fiction to be true. Then again, many aspects of technology feel like that.
