Did you know?

The world is full of wonderful technologies. Things that were only thought possible in science fiction. There are technologies that give us the opportunity to achieve great things. Thechnology now is adressing the idea of becoming smarter with the human experience. Technologies such as this range from cyborgs, to tweets, to blogs, to wikis, to immersive virtual technologies. These are all technologies that i feel will be an intricate part of everyone's future regardless of age, gender, race, or social status. If everything continues on the path that it is, there will be an enormous shift that is beyond the understanding of human capacity. Here are some ideas that you should think about in order to understand what kind of technological evolution the human race is experiencing.

• Did you know, that many of today's college majors did not exist 10 years ago?


• Did you know, today students in college are preparing for jobs that do not even exist, and are learning about technologies that have not been invented yet?


• Did you know, more 50% of 21-year olds have created content on the web?


• Did you know, over 70% of 4-year olds have also used a computer?


• Did you know, the first commercial text message was sent in 1992?


• Did you know, the number of text messages sent per day exceeds the planet population?


• Did you know, the amount of technical information is doubling every two years?


• Did you know, by 2010 it is expected to double every 72 hours?


• Did you know, predictions are that by the time that children who are 6 years old, born in 2007, a super computer's computation ability will exceed that of the human brain.

What does this all mean? It means that today technology is growing at an exponential rate, and that we are preparing for problems that have not even occurred yet. Technology is becoming faster, better, and easier to access world wide. One problem with this, is that no one knows what is happening because it is not discussed at on a large scale.

I guess the real goal of this last blog is a simple message. "Get out and explore". These are exciting times, and nobody knows what is going on. The human race is peaking around the corner of something so vast, that it is beyond our understanding of what potential we have in the near future. Get out there, see what is coming out, where we are going, and most importantly be aware of what is happening to us as a whole. We are getting smarter, better, and more sophisticated technology. Enjoy, and immerse yourself into a world of technology that has yet to be fully explored!!!
