I don't think that there is anyone who actually didn't see the advert of the new iPhone. When I first saw it I thought: 'oh well, another item that doesn't bother me at all...'. After a few days from seeing the advert I read (to be very honest) at least twenty articles and comments on the new iPhone! I mean, come on people is it really that important? Well, both my brother and my boyfriend seem to think that yes, it is. Mainly, because it is an amazing step forward (yet another one) in technology. Now, if we think about it - it's an iPod and a mobile phone, with a massive touch screen - that's right no buttons, looking quite pleasant I have to admit. I have already met loads of people who got extremely excited about the new device. And what I have been thinking of recently is that in about five - ten years the world will see such amazing things that we always thought would be impossible. I can't even imagine what will be achievable in the future. Complex human brains and our intelligence and ability to create (with the help of computers at some point) can make things happen! The development of technology is moving forward with such an amazing speed that as mentioned before, one day our eyes will see unbelievable things. If we think about it, Homo sapiens first appeared some 195000 years ago. We have to of course keep in mind that the first people were not what we are now (taking into account all sorts of circumstances). It has taken us sooo long to develop some basic ways of dealing with life and only since some beginnings of 1990s so many changes occurred within technology and other fields. During one century people developed and created absolutely fascinating things! How amazing is this? What can we expect to see in some ten, twenty years? Are we excited to see the inventions or rather scared or concerned? Even though I admire human initiative I am a bit of a worrier... Is it not a bit scary that technology is developing so fast? A good friend of mine who lives in Japan was telling me some time ago about a receptionist who got a job at his work... she is a robot...
