Technology evolution

It has been nearly half a year that I last penned my entry. Even then, it was not even an entry of me, let alone my thoughts.

I realised that from the 80s that im born till now, memories from the past like things that we used to have, places that we used to frequent, transportation that we used to take, food that we used to eat are fading faster than we thought. Though there are certain things we dont mind changing for the better.  

Technology have evolved so fast that I believe certain things will slow slip into extintion. Things like CDs, DVDs are slowly replaced by iTunes, Youtube and the turnaround time for cinema show to be shown on TV within 6 months after showing on cinema.

MSN, Skype and the once popular ICQ are now mainly used for work purposes rather than catching your friends online and chat them up. With the introduction of Whatapps which helps you to send unlimited msgs to a group chat or even to a person, it translates to a faster response and causing telcos to lost billions of dollars due to uncapped data plan and also because sending SMS is getting lesser and lesser. Only a certain $ingtel and $tarhub are charging $$$ for more data usage.
