I remember when I wanted a cell phone sooooooo badly, the black and white screened bricks that seemingly everyone except myself had. Then I wanted an ipod, again with the black and white screen. I was the happiest little girl in the world when I got one for my birthday, all my friends were so jealous because I was so cool with my brand new technology. Then time passed and cell phones and ipods evolved. Soon there were color screens everywhere and black and white screens were history. Ipods went from holding 500 songs to having the storage capacity of 80G. Then came the laptops. Eventually we were introduced to the Macbook Air. Featherlight and as thin as a pencil, the Macbook Air was the most advantageous of all laptops and everyone was taken aback by how thin it was. I thought it was the coolest thing ever, I had never seen anything like it. I still think it is pretty amazing, but now I have discovered a new laptop that is possibly even physically better looking than the Air. The Dell Adamo XPS is just 9.9mm thick, and weighs in at less than 1.5kg. I am definitely still a Mac person, I don't think I could make the transition to Dell...however I find it so interesting that technology is changing like this. Why is everything getting smaller, how does this reflect our society as a whole? It just leads you to think, what next?
