Tech Zeitgeist


Well it’s 7 years after the year 2000 so maybe we’re just a wee-bit late...but just only.

The past few weeks have seen the introduction of the Transformers movie and the iPhone. These technological masterpieces are the things that people have hoped for in the past and have just now come to fruition. These things – along with hybrid cars, the Nintendo Wii – are the things that people will literally wait in line for. Amazingly, all these things which were not long ago part of the realm of science fiction, while not cheap, are remarkably accessible. Technology: where the proof is in the pudding; and the pudding is delivered.

Am I overstating things? I don't think so. Think about the things that people went mad over in the last few decades: The Beatles, Cabbage Patch Kids, etc. Tech is now. Now is tech.
