How technology moves on...

[Shorty]

Im sitting my local pub (bar) havin some food, posting on my nokia communicator... typing this message. Ahh, hasn't technology changed??_Who here, would have thought a little cellphone would be able to allow me to post this message?_

Ok.. so it's GSM speed (9.6k ISDN... lol) but still.. my mini-webbrowser...which supports javascript, cookies & flash.. allows this?!

Hell... I can even SSH into my home Linux box and work on it!

Who would have thought it would have got this stage??_

You think of technology now and it being so awesome, just think of whats coming next... you can only wonder.

[Clutch]

Very true. Technology has changed at such a fast pace, that the future could mean just next month or so. I mean they got cell phones that can take pictures, it's amazing at what you can do these days.

For years I was thinking to myself "soon, soon, very soon now" but now we're AT that point.. The future is now, and all those things that we kept hearing about in the late 80's and early 90's are finally reality. It is a fantastic time to be a geek.

All I want is a damned HoloSuite from Star Trek. I would then build my home from that, be able to design every feature of it, every aspect, but most of the time, it will be my play ground for the Virtual BattleField!

I have held off on the web phone, PDA and other new gizmoes. I want to be able to carry one device, OK make that two. A cell phone/PDA thing that mates with my notebook computer.

The problem with phone service in the US is that you can't get special services in 85% of the country and no one company can even give you basic phone service in every major city. One case where competition didn't bread a better situation yet.
