Watch out: The world is changing!
Lately I seem more susceptible to realize how fast the world is changing. Probably I am getting old...
At a recent lecture, Martin Herdina (CEO, Wikitude) showed how the mobile phone changes our lives (and he displayed slides you don't usually see in lectures…)
Once again I realized that the iPhone was only launched in 2007. I think it is amazing how our use of technology can change in only 4 years ...
Another striking example underlying the perception of technical change in relation to other areas of our lives:
What crosses your mind when you see the following picture?
Old-school, clumsy, clunky, retro …
...at least that are impressions that pop up in my head…
Now, what crosses your mind when you see the following picture:
Cool, highlight, milestone in movie history, top-10-movies of all times, re-defining science fiction movies …
...again that are my personal associations.
But you remember that the Nokia 7110 phone in the above picture was actually designed after being inspired by the Matrix movie:
I think it is remarkable how time is not having the same effect on movies as on technology. The Matrix definitely aged better than the Nokia phone.
In context: Great video about living in exponential times.
