Well, technology has changed a lot since and during my time and it will continue to change throughout history. Technology way back then was just some inventions that helps people live their daily lives like the first telephone for communications between people or first typewriter to write letters and other sort of things instead of using paper and pencil or ink. Some of the inventions of technology in my time were different versions of the iphones, ipads, tablets, and computers. People have made different versions because they are trying to make it more advanced and easier to use. As time rolls by, different software and chips came out and some were used in the development of different version of devices. A lot of people back then think that the first telephone or the first moving picture camera was so cool and think that it could not get better than that, well they are wrong, it DID get WAY better. The phones were becoming smarter and faster. The ipads and tablets were becoming lighter and more manageable. The computers were becoming faster, easier to use, new software added, and more memory storage and data. Some people think that as soon as different versions came out, the older versions are junk, but they are still great products that can be used in other ways. When I was growing up in Vietnam, my family and I did not have a computer of our own or phones like now in the United States. We had hand phones that have those wires that needs an outlet to plug it into for it to be able to work. Whenever my family would visit my uncle and aunt's house, we would see a computer for the first time, since back then who ever was able to afford a car or technology can buy one, but who ever can not afford it, can't buy anything fancy and expensive. I learned in all of my history classes, TVs were in black in white back then if your family was able to afford it, and it was the top thing then. Many people want to get their hands on it since it was the ¨big¨ thing like the smart phones for us. Before the first telephone was invented, nobody knew what a cell phone is or let alone a smartphone that we all know and love. Technology is changing by software and by price. Like I said before, technology back in my time was very expensive and hard to buy it and work it properly. Some computers and cameras cost more than renting rooms now in a hotel in the U.S. Now computers and cameras ranges from $50-$9000, depending on its software and features. Technology has made everyone's lives way better and it is still continue to be used to make new things. Cars in our time right now are limited to have GPS and back up cameras as some bonus features, but that will soon be changed and be mandatory for all cars. Many new features will be changed to additional features for some additional prices, but the GPSs and back up cameras will be mandatory soon. Some cars now have doors that open upward instead of outward, and that is technology that enables for those types of cars to do that. Right now, I use technology everyday in my daily life, for home and for school, people should be grateful for whatever type of technology they have even if it is the first telephone or a typewriter. Those inventions got us started to create new ones and because of all those smart inventors back then, we were able to get the idea to create more and better technology for future generations.
