Brave New Digital World


10 years ago the iPhone was just a concept.  Think about that.  We all had different phones, if we had them at all.  Flip phones, Sidekicks, Blackberry, and whatever else we could afford or our parents bought for us. 

Today, we all have the infinite knowledge of the Internet and all the information we want right at our fingertips.  Technology is moving so fast that we can't even imagine what's going to be available to us, and how digital our world will be sooner than we think.  FaceTime today, and holograms tomorrow.  Those movies like Avatar or even Star Wars are closer to becoming reality than we think, and soon we will be able to do things digitally that we can't even do in reality.

This could become dangerous, as today we are already glued and obsessed with our smartphones and devices that we sometimes lose track of reality.  Only time will tell how good or bad the new digital age will become.
