Sometimes I question what’s next? By asking me what kind of innovations holds in store for us? The only answer to that is we’ll never know. Just imagine just about 50 years ago, when the televisions were first introduced and look at how much we have progressed in those years. It seems like every year something new comes out and makes the past technology obsolete.
ReplyDeleteThat thing doesn’t even look like the televisions we have today. Today we have 60” HD Flat screens. To think that they originated from that contraption is unbelievable.
