What is the Most Amazing Aspect of Technology?

Growth.

In my opinion, the most amazing part about technology is its ability to grow. Not only its ability to simply grow, but to pave the way for new societal trends at an exponential rate are what truly impress me. It can be said that the society we live in builds the technology that, in turn, shapes our future; and the process is cyclical.

Famous intellectuals and inventors have thought in the past that all that was to be invented had already been developed. Well they couldn’t have been more wrong. New inventions, especially in the areas of technology, are developed and brought to market every day. Just seeing the evolution of the personal computer in the last 50 years is enough evidence to believe that there is no stopping the thirst for new technological innovation and inventions. The evolutionary process from ENIAC, which took up an entire room with limited capabilities, to Apple’s new ultra slim .5 inch thick laptop with endless capabilities, remains astounding.
