Its hard to imagine how computers that could occupy an entire floor have now been reduced to the size of a small box. Today, even handheld PDAs have their own processors and memory; Mobile phones are shrinking every year, otherwise a load of new features are crammed into an already decent sized handset; Hard drives are decreasing in size while increasing tenfold in capacity.
In a much broader aspect, technology has gone a really long way over the past century. Come to think of it, even for just the past ten years we have already seen several significant technological advancements. Nowadays, smaller in physical dimension ofcourse means much bigger in the world of electronics. Smaller hardware gives us a higher "power-for-size" ratio, and in turn also allows us to use more portable gadgets. With this rapid change in technology, integrating it into our lifestyles has already become the norm, keeping us in tune to the latest trend in gadgets. In a span of one person's lifetime, we've witnessed the advent of powerful machines, architectural marvels, and even artificial intelligence. What else will we see in our lifetime?
