Gadgets of the Decade

January 5th, 2010 | Posted in: technology

Right after watching a program on TV featuring the incredibly smart and inspiring futurologist Ray Kurzweil yesterday, I bumped into this post at Wired: The Greatest Gadgets of the Past Decade.

The reason for linking these two together is that Kurzweil talked about how our technological knowledge grows exponentially. This can seem hard to grasp, but it is true. I think this post greatly illustrates how technology is changing our everyday lives and how quick it is developing. Technology is moving so fast, that things that were top of the bill less than ten years ago, now seem hopelessly outdated.

Just have a look at some the other gadgets. How ingrained has the iPod become in our lives in such a short time? Remember the first PS2? That Palm Treo phone was top of the bill just 6 years ago…

Just try to imagine where we will be 10 years from today…
