The Past, Present, and Future of Technology

Technology has been ever advancing since the wheel was chiseled from stone. The human race has come along way since then. We humans are making advancements on virtual reality and artificial intelligence. In case you didn't know, those aren't made out of stone. The world is a hell of a lot advanced than it was just 20 years ago. Cellphones were little plastic rectangles with an antenna 20 years ago. It's incredible how we have gone from cellular blocks to the IPhone 11. In that short span of time, technology evolved into something far greater. Technology is only going to get better and better as time goes on. It may be scary for some, but it might not be as bad as those people think.

Technology in the Past and the Present

Technology in the past was much more primitive. The first image features a rotary phone, a far cry from what we have now. The second image is closer to what we have currently. That phone, however, is an IPhone 6, which could be considered a phone dinosaur by some. But phones aren't the only technology that went through evolution. Anything considered technology has probably got an upgrade.

Look at the television in this image, then look at the TV in your house. The TV in your house is much larger, wider, and advanced that it's elder counterpart in the image. All you have to do is look around to see how technology has evolved from the past. In my life, I have seen a mix of the most advanced tech, and the most primitive tech, and the difference is astonishing. You and I will be amazed by what the future has for us.

The Remaining Present and Coming Future of Technology

What we know as modern technology will become past technology as the future of tech approaches. A.I. robots, as seen in the image, are being evolved for use in the near future of the human race. Virtual Reality will be another part of the future. Both robots and V.R. exist in our present, but they are primitive currently. But there are fears of this futuristic, well, future. According to Kevin Dickinson of BigThink, the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, and Nick Bostrom, a professor at Oxford, have fears of the future. The fact that Elon Musk has fears of the future is suprising, because he is developing the technology. If this negative future with A.I. occurs, it could be called a Frankenstein's Monster situation, where the creator themselves make the evil unknowingly, or knowingly. In my eyes, the only way we can know the future is to get there in time.
