Do we realize how lucky we are to have lived through the last decade? Think about what we take for granted. We shoot 24p, DoF HD video that truly looks like film, and we edit on multiple huge LCD’s at our leisure in our homes.
Remember having to go to mapquest.com to print out driving directions? I can’t even imagine going back to that. I’ve got a GPS in my pocket at all times, why would I ever want to go to a computer to print up directions?
Could you survive in a world that didn’t have wireless/cellular internet? Imagine not being able to browse the web with a laptop,… a laptop without the internet, what’s the point? How about mobile data in general. Imagine not being able to communicate using twitter and facebook on your blackberry or iPhone. Imagine not being able to text message, email, browse the web, or take photo’s or video on your mobile phone. Ughh, no thanks.
So as this decade come to an end, let us feel empowered by all of the technology that the last decade has given us. Let’s feel blessed every time we pick up our 21 megapixel camera’s, every time we watch a Blu-ray film on our big screen plasmas, every time we take our smart phone out of our pockets. Because a decade ago, none of this stuff existed. 2010, here we come.
