OMG you must be kidding!!! There’s been numerous items invented, 19 years!!!!!
- ah smartphones for starters!!!!
- smart TVs
- 5g internet
- fingerprint technology
- WIFI
- numerous video game systems
- drones
- 3D printing advancements
- Apple Watch
- driverless cars
- heaps more that I can’t quite recall know but if I researched I would find more, there great examples though.
NO WAY!!! What do you class as smart? Internet was only invented in the 80s, to me a smart phone is iPhones, Samsung, google etc, nothing prior to that.
Also they are aiming to use drones to help patrol beaches and detect danger, this would be nice to save lives in this fashion, I believe some technology advances are gratuitous as they are not gonna improve majorly important areas of our lives but a lot will.
I see your point, they were massive inventions at the time, yeah maybe there’s not that much new as new models of phones get released but there’s still some improvements, good point but it does help improve, like you no longer to carry around a bulky CD player should you want to listen to music on a jog, 3D printing yeah exactly could be amazing, we will get there I feel, also don’t forget about stem cell research that could very well be a very big part of the future of medicine.
Improvements are forms of new technology though.
The automobile has been around longer than your great grandparents. They didn't have heat and didn't have radios. Now that's standard. Now thanks to technology we have smart cars.
Same with the television. Again yet another invention created a long time ago, but now are flat, less heavy and have a list of things only seen and used today. Smart TV's.
I think we need to realize any improvement can be considered a form of new technology because it is. It doesn't have to mean a brand new creation.
I have a friend who's kid uses a 3D printer. It's insane what those things can do.
Although not considered earth shattering to us, it's used in many ways today. Not to mention it's now affordable to the common consumer where not 5 years ago only a company could afford.
You are correct. So many things we use and need in today's world that is technology driven.
Yes but if they make improvements those things will greatly improve society, you can argue that major developments can make it classed as NEW, hardly earth shattering? You kidding, please watch a documentary on the topic if you like, I watched one the other day and they are projecting that we could printing human internal organs in as little as five years, they have already printed things such as ears and noses as tests for future potential. I think that’s pretty earth shattering!
Does anyone else feel they are going too far with technology?

Smart phones have been around since the mid 90's.

Okay wow, didn’t realise it was that early, awwww that was cute the way you spoke in the third person just then :-)
It's true, your generation killed innovation. Parents were too busy babying you to pursuit any creative interests in their free time.

Really?? Interesting, cause my mom died when I was a child and my dad is a raging alcoholic who was never there.
Maybe your generation are just full of hype and bs.
I use the generally recognized first smartphone by IBM in 1992.
Use apple all you want as a guide because they are hardly tearing up innovation. I-phone X??? That'd be 10 iterations. Not new.
The internet was generally considered to have come about with TCP/IP in 1983.
Do have any idea what refrigeration did for that generation, the car, phones, television.
We just moved music and movies from disks to devices.
Like I said, I will give you 3-d printing. That could turn out to be amazing but it isn't there yet.
Until then.....snore.....

Yeah exactly, that’s what I said earlier to Nikki Claire, can be classed as new and in many cases should be.
Were flip phones really considered smart?

The SIMON by IBM wasn't a flip phone. It had a monochrome display and looked like a brick but it wasnt a flip phone.

Holy shit! Even had mail and a calculator!
Wonder how much that ran for back in the day?
I said NEW technology. These are all just improvements of things that already existed.
3D printing might be one but thats hardly earth shattering. I have never even used one.
