We live in a very advanced world. We have automobiles that can get us from point A to Point B. We have airplanes that travel through the air to get us further distances than the automobile can. We have people that can travel through space and have even landed on the moon. We have fast food restaurants that can serve us a full meal in a matter of minutes.

If you want to play a game all you have to do is turn on your game console in your living room and you can play a game online against anyone, anywhere in the world. There are so many advancements that the human kind has invented, I have a hard time thinking about what will come next? I mean, just 20 years ago we had the Nintendo which everyone was in awe over. But then the Super Nintendo came out, which was way better than regular Nintendo. Better graphic, cooler graphics, how could you beat that? So fast forward back to today where we now have Wii where you can play using your movements. Stand in front of it and move around and you are playing in the game. There is also PS3 or Xbox 360 where you can play online against other people across the world. How can it get any better than that?

We already have advanced automobiles….there really isn’t making it anymore advanced other than coming up with a better energy source for those automobiles that pollutes less. We have just advanced so much that I can not imagine that we would really have anymore extreme inventions that would change mankind forever. I can’t imagine what it was like when the first car was introduced. People could actually drive around. Now, we get amused when a new version of the car is made. Oh wow, the new 2011 Ford Focus is here! Awesome! I would like to see something really new and really cool.

And we shouldn’t forget the new release of iPad. It is bigger than a cellphone, but smaller than a laptop. This is a real movable device. A laptop is movable, but you need to rest it somewhere to use it. With an iPad, you can be walking and still be able to use it. I couldn’t be surprise with what the iPad would be able to do in the future. We might be able to get documents, coupons (such as Mcdonalds coupons, Kfc coupons) on the device. I believe the iPad would eliminate the need of papers.
