The Evolution and Obsolescence of Technology
Referring back to past technological transitions, the speaker illustrates that each innovation serves as a bridge to what comes next. From the advent of the fax machine, home telephone, or early computers like the Commodore 64 and Atari, each was a stepping stone in our digital journey. These devices have gradually disappeared, replaced by more integrated and streamlined solutions, and understanding this progression is crucial. Today’s smartphones and cloud services are the latest in this chain, shaping industries like social media, navigation (Google Maps), instant communication (FaceTime, email), and beyond.
