Escavations reveal that ancient people of Bagdad used batteries made of copper and iron plates and orange or grape juice for electrolyte. This evolved into batteries for electroplating, lighting bulbs, and when energy started to get generated in massive scales, the market for electronics grew. Our life depends on electronics these days, and if you are a person who has not a single electronic equipment with you, you would probably pass for a caveman.

Electronics are fairly easy to understand, and the whole world makes electronic stuff, but only a few companies like Samsung maintain te balance between low prices and good quality.

Think about it, about 100 years ago, a guy scanned an image frame with a CRT, converted that into analog signals and displayed the captured image on another screen. This thing was named the Television, made up of vaccum tubes primarily.

100 years have gone, and CRT is history now. No one buys CRTs anymore. People want higher definition, people want the smallest dot that theh human eyes can see to be made up of several pixels. And technology is delivering that. One advancement is Blu Ray.

When i was in school, about 15 years ago, playing videos on a computer were a dream. With the maximum hard disk size of 250 MB, and floppies of 1.44 MB which can barely store a song file, people who were into computer animation might never have thought that such advancements would take over the world in such short times.

In those times, 1 second of video had 27 MB of data, and peopel only worked on how to bring the size lower to shrink the storage space needed. But in those days there was not enough computing power to have a zip/extract arrangement either.

But now, I dare say, we have everything. Image can’t get better. We don’t need better resolution unles our eyes evolve better. There is nothing on this planet now better than blu ray movies with perfect sounds and pictures to feast the senses.

At least, it is not te computer that humans make. It is not as effective. It needs a break once in a while, and thats what vacations are for. A time out, a break for the brain to do a different things on Orlando vacation spots. Humans need this once in a while.

I rarely travel to office. I have my office on my computer. I get remote desktop access to all computers at my office, and there is nothing that i can’t do from my home that I need to go to the office to do. However, there as the slight issues of data security, but there is nothing that a well paid network security administrator can’t take care of.

I hate to see kids having to go to school every day just to learn. Well, a school is a place where they can get together with other kids of their own shapes and sizes, but we can always make school a fun place, and make it a get together that happens weekly, and do the education part at home, in their own rooms, online. There are loads of Top Online Schools that are showing up on the internet. I am not saying that you should stop your kid from going to school, but with schools online, I am sure your kids will learn more and better than what tey actually get at their schools.
