Smartphones: The sky has become the limit when talking smartphones. Smartphones today seem to have limitless capabilities. Ten years ago we had a hard time with trying to find the power up button on our cellphones. With some smartphones today you have the ability to power up your phone with a simple voice command. You now have the ability to track your phone down if it happens to get lost or stolen due to an internal GPS chip installed within the phone. Who’s to say having fancy lenses and editing software installed on your smartphone may put your local photographer out of business ten years from now. Another function is the ability to watch a live broadcast streaming over your digital signal. Yes many people love the technological advances that have come with smartphones. Is it really worth people losing their jobs one day? With live broadcast on smartphones, will there come to a time when a cable man is not needed? Or having the ability to deposit checks from you phone, will that cost a bank teller her job? There has to come to a time when enough is enough. How many more applications do we really need for our phones? How many different ways do we really need to dial out? At some point we should just accept smartphones for what they are and stop trying to evolve them into something greater. It might come to a point when the smartphone will be doing the thinking for its user.
Satellite/Cable Television: A few months back everyone that has cable television was required to all their local cable provider and request a digital box. So they had the ability to view high definition television. Without this box people are not able to even receive a signal with a basic antenna. Where do we go from here? Now satellite companies have deals that you more than likely will never see again. Due to the fact many people are now getting rid of their satellite and cable television due to the tremendous pricing offered with online broadcast. For example Netflix now has day to day television shows that are now offered. What is the point of having cable when you can pay a small fee of $9.00 a month to receive the same if not better options. Satellite and Cable television no longer have and endless lifespan.
Laptops/Notebooks: These two items also have a short lifespan. People now a days are getting away from you standard bulky laptops and slender notebooks. You now find people utilizing their cell phone as a means of getting tasks completed. With keyboards and software preloaded onto many smartphones. Sooner rather than later people will not have a need for these devices. With the instant gratification world we live in today. Smartphones are taking over the technology world. Many laptops can not offer wi-fi nationwide. Bur with a smartphone you can be almost anywhere in the world and have a signal.
MP3: These devices are growing by the minute. With the variety of software and programs now being offered with the purchase of a MP3 you can not go wrong. It was a time when the vinyl record was trending. Then you had the CD in which you could load about 23 songs on. Now you have MP3 players now in which have about 6GB of memory which can hold about 30,000+ songs. Now ask yourself, do you really want to walk around with every CD you have in your collection in a duffle bag? Or do you prefer to have a small handheld device in which you could easily store in your pocket?
