The Nature of Technology

Today there was an article in the Huffington Post, by an author who was  wishing to slow down technology.  It reminded me of a book I was reading about the nature of technology.  I think that the person who wrote the article of course, wrote it from a selfish point of view.  As he states, anyone that buys a new phone or other technical item, does not want to see the  item updated within months, however, the pace of technology is that fast, I believe it is about 8-9 months.

The nature of technology is interesting, because it affects our history , our culture, our future and predictions of our future.  As a consumer, you have to think, do I need this now, or should I wait 8-9 months for a better version.  Remember the new innovations can help our economy climb out of this recession!

Right now the i-pad war is on, with new "i-pads" slated to begin hitting the market from other companies to compete with the Apple i-pad.  The Playpad, will  tie your cell phone by blue tooth, so you do not need to have a modem assigned to the cell phone and the playpad, you will be able to have one modem.  This is a big improvement, and then, what I am waiting for ,is to take my Direct tv with me, rather than have a separate system in each location, such as a cottage at the beach and your main home, etc.   The dreams are coming true, all the time.  In studies of consciousness, we form our own worlds, could this be the hard proof?
