I, Phone

Interesting reading.  It's fascinating to me that what drove the progression of transportation, communication and reproduction was all because of money-backing by early eager entrepreneurmanship.  It was capitalistic economics that speed up time and shrunk the space between.  Money made a pigeon into an email all because it needed and wanted more capital by investing itself in shrinking the globe.  It seems that alot of money is being made now through the industrial military complex throughout the globe, but no technological breakthroughs, though the large haldron collider could prove otherwise.

The world of the late 1800's seems so amazing and optimistic and ripe with idea and invention; it makes the world we live in look like we are lagging behind with ideas and technological advancements.  It seems that today there are only modifications to existing consumer consumption and no ideas with lasting beneficial value to us. (i.e. phones that are smaller with more features, higher definition televisions).  It seems that there is no innovation with the value of new technologies besides saving us more of our time.  

With the advent of the iphone we have shrunken time and space even further with the pleasure of information in the palm of our hands and accessibility to the entire connected world.  We've put our time and space in our pockets now.  

What's next?
