You know....Isn't technology great? Every day, some new /thing/ comes out with some sort of advancement that the last /thing/ didn't have...It just all seems to move quickly into the direction of nowhere. I remember sitting in the car with my mom as a child...Listening to a cassette player. Yes, those damned cassettes! Those things that are next to obsolete now! But i remember when the cassettes were the best thing ever. Then...There were cds. Compact disks. They were expensive and the latest thing in technology! Everyone wanted them...Everyone simply /had/ to have them. It wasn't long before the cassettes were forgotten. Now the cds are soon fading to the technology that is a MP3 player. Wonder what wonderous thing will come next? Then game the games. Something that just keeps advancing every day, doesn't it? Gameboys, gameboy colors, N64s, playstation, playstation 2, gameboy advance, gamecube, x-box,gameboy advance SP, nintendo ds, x-box 360, wii, playstation 3. Each saying they are better than the others, yet you can't play /all/ the games on just one console, can you? I had the gameboy color. I had the N64. I still have a ps2 and I do have my gameboy advance sp. And you know what? I'd rather stick with my N64 and cameboy color. As for television....Not exactly the newest of creations, but it does have importance in our society. VCRs came so we can watch what we want, when we want. Then came the dvds! Now vhs tapes are useless! Can't even sell them for two dollars! The dvds are still in good shape, but the cable packages you can get now will record anything you want with next to no hassle! All this technology....and there's only one use for it all! Entertainment. All the older machines didn't give the entertainment fast or well enough, so someone advanced it and they will /keep/ advancing this technology untill there's nowhere left to go. Then what? Well, we haven't quite reached that barrier yet, but we're growing close, aren't we? With all this technology and such, you would consider it safe to call modern times pretty advanced, right? If you have read your history books and have a good mind in your skull, this would not be true. Think of the ancient Egyptians, Mayans, Incas, the list goes on! They create these giant structures without the easy machinery that we use today and they also had the capability to study the sun and stars without anything more than their eyes. They would be considered the 'advanced' ones! We are only technological beings...We wouldn't have been able to do all the work those people did merely because we have grown soft! Every advancement we make is one step closer to never having to truely /work/ again. Even now...Self-parking cars? My god! bah....just needed to get that off my chest. You think about that, now!.....
