Will technology ever stop developing?
Technology is an incredibly fast growing industry. Just when you think you have the latest phone or computer, another edition is released.
It was back in the nineties when the first mobile phones were released. These huge handsets with a tiny screen and minimal memory capacity seemed like something from the future. Home telephones today aren't even as big as those monsters used to be.
However, this was just the beginning. Soon, more and more mobile phones were being made, each slighter smaller, faster and lighter than the last. A milestone in the mobile phone calender has to be the Nokia 3310, released in late 2000. One of the first phones to be sleek, have changeable shells and various ringtones.
Ringtones have progressed from simple beeps, to polyphonic tones but now we simply use exerts of our favorite songs. Downloading the latest tunes from network companies websites such as o2.co.uk has proved very popular. Even if you don't know what the number one in the charts is, you are sure to hear it blasting from someone's pocket.
But the classic Nokia ringtone is still remembered today, regardless that it is rarely used, except maybe by grandparents who have now decided to get their first mobile phone and this tone is definitely the loudest.
Using a phone is just second nature to many of us. Some people can text without even looking while others are experts on classic phone games like snake. This generation has become so reliant on technology, it was seem like the end of the world to go without our computer or mobile for just one week.
This leaves us wondering what is in store for the future. Will we look back and laugh at the apple macs and the 3d televisions? Who knows what is in store for the next generation. Richard Branston is already organising trips to the moon and the rock band Muse has promised to be the first band to play there. it's supposed to be a venue which is out of this world.
