Fast technology upgrade

January 22, 2009

Amazing how technology keeps on upgrading in just few years or even months. For instance, mobile phones used to be big and bulky, but now they’re getting so tiny and slim enough for your palm. And they’re packed with loads of features than their predecessors. I wonder what would be the next mobile phone feature aside from being loaded with camera, mp3 player, organizers and other nifty details. I know the research guys at Nokia are always thinking ahead and envision future mobile phones to be mini-computers, capable of more advanced features that every businessman or gadget freak would be happy about.

Laptops are evolving fast as well. I often think of having a mini-laptop for those days when I’m on the go. My HP Pavilion notebook which I fondly call “Pavi” is slimmer compared to most notebooks but in contrast to the mini-laptop, it’s just heavier and bulkier. And now, USB flash drives keep increasing their data sizes. From MBs (Megabytes) of data when they first came out, flash drives are now available up to 16 GBs (Gigabytes). That’s a lot of data storage and the prices are even more affordable.
