The Newest Froniter

My how things have changed... Techonlogy is moving so fast and so many different directions its hard to keep up -let alone know which direction to move in. There are so many different cool applications and new ways to use technology. One article suggests a site where you can find pictures other people took of you while on vacation. It's something i've thought of before:

When you're on vaction think of all the camera dodging, stopping, and haulting you do when everyone around you is taking pictures. Now think of how many you're in, maybe in the side of the frame, maybe even with a really irritated look on your face. Wouldn't it be great if you could look through everyone's pictures and find the ones you're in? I think so too...

Well, now with technology it could be possible. The main concern with all these new applicaitons and ideas is always going to be security. If so many things have changed from my parents time to mine, i would how much it will change by the time i'm 50.

Think about this. In less than 10 years, I'd bet that cameras will be able to analyze a picture as soon as its taken, determine who is in the photograph, upload it to a website, and tag it with names as soon the picture is taken. The basic technology for this is already here, it would just take someone with the initiative and brains to put it all together.

I always think about how different things are between our time and our parents' time. For example, think about meeting up at night to go out? "Hey EVERYONE meet at Sonic at 9pm. If you don't come - seeeee ya." No cell phone? Think about writing papers... We want to look something up, we Google it. They had to go the library and do all sorts of crazy stuff. Relying on Snail Mail and not having mail alone sounds miserable to me.

I'm happy in my technologically-crazy world.
