The last decade has seen some really cool geeky stuff from iPods to iphones, social networking to podcasting, streaming video to WiFi. Makes you wonder what the next 10 years will bring. Take a look here at all the cool things we have seen. What is your favorite, which one have you used the most? What would you like to see come out in the next 10 years? Will some of these be extinct shortly or will they live on?

Re: Looking Back On The Tech-ade

Just think about all of the websites that have come about and changed things. Sites like: E-Bay, Google, Wikipedia, yahoo & Amazon,

Technology has come so far its scary and fast. Case in point my office server and program I run on. My server is going on 7 yrs old and is outdated. When I got my server and purchased my one program (at the same time 7 yrs ago) I spent 85K for them now here it is 7 years later and I'm having a heart attack over having to cough up 50K to update both (that includes data migration). My old program will not run on a new server and my old server is running Windows Server 2000. Sad

Re: Looking Back On The Tech-ade

I was just thinking about this the other day ... I was reading some *cough* bathroom material whilst on the throne Wink about dinosaurs, and it said the earth was some billions of years old, and dinosaurs lived some 300 million years (or something like that, I'm already rusty on the exact stats), so I got to thinking how much we've advanced in just my 38 short years; commodore 64's came out when I was about 12 (we had one), and the 'web' looked like mostly text and crappy little graphics around 1994-95. My first (good) home pc had a 2gb hard drive and was 150mhz. Now you can get many times those gb's on a tiny Flash Drive, or SD as big as your fingernail.
