Advances of technology

I have been doing a trip down memory lane lately with technology and realizing how powerful the devices are that we are using now. When I started programming my Dad had a 4K Coco Col our computer made by Radio Shack. In order to load programs you either used a cartridge or a tape drive. At the time this was an expensive top of the line pc.

What is amazing is in my hand I carry a Samsung Jack Smart Phone. This runs Windows Mobile and has a 4 GB mini SD card in it. This is absolutely incredible to  have all this power in the palm of my hand. All for a couple hundred dollars on a 3 year contract instead of the $500-700 that the 4K coco sold for.

Technology just seems to be advancing and advancing and this is just one good example of how it has advanced in the last number of years.
