Today’s technology!
In today’s society, we have touch
screen phones, global messaging in
seconds, a wide variety of social
media networks, such as Facebook,
Twitter, and Tumblr. These sites
make communication simple and
instant throughout the world.
We can use the internet on our
phones as well, without having to
be attached to a landline. Newer
technology is released ever year to
advance what we already have
advanced.
Modern day “cell phone”

The future!
With technology advancing so
quickly, new releases are soon to be
outdated.
People had predicted that we’d
have flying cars by the year 2000
before the technology was
advanced that far.
But even as we speak, engineers are
designing a car meant to drive on
both land and water! Flying is just
the next step.
With most cell phones as touch
screens, we are evolving to the
point where we won’t even need
buttons. Not just in phones, but at
all! TV’s, cars, computers, etc. will
all be touch controlled! 3D
television is in production, so I
believe that holograms replacing
screens is just a short step away
and that all of this can be achieved
in the next 15 years!
Volkswagen is currently
designing a hover car
prototype!
