This is an amazing video on how fast the world is changing and how technology is affecting our lives.
This generation is in for a roller coaster ride - but I suppose we are already somewhat used to it...
Just thinking back 15 years to when I entered college - even in those 4 years everything changed so drastically - the world was truly a different place when I came out. I went in having never heard of the internet, and I got to watch it be born (commercially) and blossom right before my eyes. I left college with a desktop PC, having easily logged thousands of hours on the web and having started a website advertising business with a friend.
I entered college having never desired or even conceptualized having a cell phone, and left college having owned two different ones... I'm sure those are the two big ones so far in my lifetime - as far as commercially usable products. Both of them have advanced beyond anything I dreamed of even back then - and it looks like that trend will continue.
I thought the most intriguing idea asserted in the video was that by the time I am 70 (if the Lord wills I make it that far), a $1000 PC (which today is NOT a top of the line PC) will have more computing power than the brainpower of the entire human race combined.
I hope we use it for more than surfing porn...

How comforting it is for me to cling to the one, unchanging Truth; sent by His unchanging Father; made more and more known to me by the unchanging Holy Spirit.
James 1:17 - ...with whom [God the Father] there is no variation or shadow due to change.
Malachi 3:6 - For I the Lord do not change...
Numbers 23.19 - God is not man, that He should lie, or a son of man, that He should change His mind...
