I was recently made aware of an application on some phones that allow you to snap a picture of bar codes and it will pull up the product on your phone with price listings, or something along those lines. At a blooming 21 years of age, I remember a time when anyone who had those jumbo bag phones in their car thought they held a special place on the socioeconomic ladder. Having internet at home had the same effect. Of course, back then it was dial-up and when that irking dial-up sound resonated through the house, it was okay, because it was the sound of something new.
This was all roughly 10 years ago. It's only a matter of time before the latest technology we have now goes old school and becomes outdated.The bar code trick is hard to top, but before long it will be forgotten. A guy can't help but wonder, what's next? What do all these technology developing gurus have in store for the world? Incorporating every type of medium into a cell phone clearly wasn't enough. The thing is, people are spoiled now, they expect these dazzling concepts on their mobile devices. So, they'll keep it coming, abundance on top of excess.
