Technology Advancement

[jnfs2014]

It has come quite a whiles since the last decade began. Dial-up turned into Broadband. Satellite TV turned into Digital, HD, and now 3D. Playstation 2 turned into 3, and Xbox and 360 came out as well. The Gamecube faltered, but it was replaced by the casual-based wii. Touch and smart phones became more and more available (as this post is coming from one), being able to surf the web, download music, and watch tv. Heck, even the technology in cars has increased, and that doesn't stop with hybrids.


Discuss advances in the past few years.

MicroSD cards still blow me away.
How the intercourse  can they fit 4GB of storage onto something smaller than a dime?
Science, man.

I thought about that before. Like back in the '90s 1gb hardrive was huge and amazing. And yet now there are freaking MicroSD cards with multiple gbs

Just thinking about the technology present in an iPhone or Droid makes my head explode.

How we went from CD players to MP3 players is pretty neat.  I'm wondering if something new will come along this decade.  Maybe (hopefully) everything will have native FLAC support?  Maybe they will make a commercial lossless file type as the new standard instead of MP3 and whatever Apple's file extension is.  What about video?  Is there a lossless for them?

This comes to mind.
