| A phone 50 years ago. |
The advancements of technology happening today is astonishing. To know that 50 years ago telephones were the size of my head and as thick as a brick and now some are paper thin and can do ten times more than what a phone back then could do is amazing. However, I feel that there are some unnecessary technology that is invented, such as the Google Glasses and self-driving vehicles. Google Glasses are basically wearable smartphones or computers. I think that there is no point as these glasses provide the same function as a smartphone or computer. Another pointless AI is self-driving vehicles. I understand that it can be very useful when the driver is busy or tired, but doesn't increase the amount of accidents that could happen. There can always be a malfunction with technology which can put your own life at risk.
Now one of my favourite television shows growing up was Phil in the Future. It was about a family from the year of 2121 renting a time machine to go on a vacation, but the machine malfunctioned and instead the machine sent them into 2004. Throughout the television show it showed how much technology can malfunction meaning you cannot depend on it. Phil and his family had to learn how to become like "regular" people without the use of technology to fix their problems, which I think is a great message!
Very true! I feel that technology of the future are things that are trying to be rid of the things that we do in our daily routine. Just like self driving cars and the google glass, the only reason why people would fancy those things is so they can be more lazier in return.
ReplyDeleteThe reason why you’d want a selfie stick instead of just using your arm is that the stick can extend to a greater distance. This avoids the “head filling the shot” look, and it gives you more control of how much of the background makes it into your image. There’s also composition to consider: An extended arm will be visible in a selfie, but a properly positioned selfie stick won’t. With a little bit of practice, you can get the kinds of shots that might otherwise require you to hand your phone off to a stranger.The first thing you'll probably consider when choosing a latestone.com selfie stick is arm length, but all of the sticks here fall within the same range, so don't worry too much about that. How the arm works is what's really important. One of the sticks I tested, with a traditional telescopic arm, gave me a nasty little cut while I was collapsing it, making me wary of that design type in general. I prefer telescopic arms that use a twist-and-lock mechanism, which are far less likely to remove a chunk of your finger.
