Rhymes of History Technology (Module 3)

 

Before the 1872 first film was made, there were various other forms of motion picture (The History of Film, n.d.). As the rhymes of time began to replace the never-ending favorite of movie-watching – by means of making tapes available to borrow from the public library or video rental stores – even those methods have witnessed 21^st century methods of movie-watching as services such as Netflix (n.d.) and Youtube (n.d.) have become popular. We can now take movies with us everywhere, everyday by downloading them or watching them from our smartphones and tablets!

I agree with the quote in this week’s discussion notes: ““The future will be like the past, only with cooler toys.”  As more and more opportunities are created for us to “toy” with technology, the more I find myself delving into learning, experimenting, growing, and at the same time “teaching others”, how to be more productive individuals and employees by implementing all types of technology. With so much portable power at our fingertips, it will be very interesting to see where the world of technology leads us, and to be an integral part of its growth.
