Where do We Go From Here?

March 1954 Westinghouse and RCA
Introduced their Color Televisions

Are you surprised at the low prices of new Ultra HD televisions? Probably not. Most of us already have one, or are satisfied with the eye-popping pictures and streaming services we now receive. We seldom think about HOW the technology works that brings us entertainment, news, sports, movies.

Technology - What would we do without it?

The first time I downloaded a game it was 1989. I didn't know what I was doing to get the download. I just thought an animated ball falling inside a hoop with the correct answer seemed a cool game for my kids. When the game opened, I gasped. How could this happen?

Well, I'm not much more conversant in computer technology than I was in 1989, but it still amazes me.

Here's an advertisement for an exposition from more than 60 years ago. There's at least one technological term were familiar with --Closed Circuit Television.

Sophisticated defense weapons of today are understood by very few -- hopefully. That's the way we need to keep it.

Counter UAV capabilities, and a virtually unlimited magazine.

I have No Clue, but I'm impressed

So I wonder, if we've come this far
with technology in less than 75 years,
where will creative minds take us next?
