Internet

It is pretty funny how things can change. Some things take millions of years for transformation, others, not as long.  Technology is advancing at such a ridiculous rate that its nearly unfathomable. In the time it took me to make sure I was using the word 'unfathomable' in the right context and spelling it correctly, there has been another huge advancement in technological progress. Its hard to think that only 40 years ago, the first bit of data was sent by computers, and in doing so, crashed and failed to send the full message. Those poor scientists...  and now, in not even half an average lifetime later, we can sit on the other side of the world, post a blog and instantly have access to it anywhere, full of links, articles, videos, and pictures. the world's information is at the fingertips of anyone with internet access. Is there anything in this world that has evolved that much in such a short amount of time? Computers that took up an entire room or floor of a building are unthinkable. I type this on a computer that is about the size of a folder, smaller than the average textbook. It goes past computers, cell phones can get internet access and you can talk on the phone and then check facebook, because we all know how important it is to change your status as your status actually changes every 3 minutes...
