If I were to tell you that I traveled 22 years back in time and took these snapshots, you would think I am nuts. Look at these photos and tell
me that I am. These snapshots were taken on October 5, 2012. I assure you that
none of these photos ever existed before October 5, neither as still photos, undeveloped films, nor slides.
As technology evolves, our personalities adapt. We change
with technology. Twenty-five years ago, I recall smiling pleasantly while reading some
futuristic science predictions.
One day, you will be able to install a satellite dish on your rooftop, providing access to hundreds of television programs. The
prospect of surfing hundreds of channels was, at the time, a trip to fantasyland.
Last night, I reset the list of my favorite satellite channels. I surfed through
955 channels of Nilesat :-)
One day, television screens will be flat and so thin that you can hang them on the wall like a picture frame. The images they created in my mind brought giggles to my face. There was, however, one technology prophet who didn’t see that truly changed our lives. With flat television technology, laptops and mobile computer phones were born - innovations that truly transformed the way we live
in the world.
Did you know that flat television was accidentally
discovered by someone not involved in the research project? Because of the
accidental discovery, they did in 3 years what they projected to do in 15 years
:-)
