Rise in Technology: are we falling behind?

As part of his five days of work experience at Hurstville City Library, Aaron Li wrote us the following blog entry..

Technology is all around us. And with mankind’s intelligence and ingenious prowess, we are coming to an era where technology has become so advanced that amazing and cool inventions we have today (such as the I-Phone) would soon become objects of no significance or value (I wonder why people with first gen I-Phones are so quiet nowadays...).

Just when you thought one thing is impossible, an invention comes along that proves you wrong. And you sigh and tell yourself, well, it's possible after all (and yea, you lose the five dollars that you bet your friend with...). I mean, who knew it can actually be done, right? In addition all the available technology around us, with every machine constantly perfected by skilled individuals, anything can be possible... (right?).

Technology has impressed us and it continues to do so with each day. It leaves us thinking, what's next? As a new near-impossible invention has been made, what else will they come up with next? The world has already been remade by great technologies, and taken to the next level by inventions that have made the lives of many much more convenient.

What could possibly be next?
