Within the last century, a large number of technological advances have greatly changed the world we live in. In contrast to technological advances in previous centuries, the latest developments have aimed to change people’s lives for the better on a personal basis rather than change society through massive advances that change industries. Many new products were developed that came into American homes in the 20th century, but within the last 20 years, an even greater number of technological devices have come to play a prominent role in American homes. The latest technologies have been able to develop as a result of the increasing availability of wireless internet access, which plays a role in nearly every one of these gadgets. Here are some of the most influential and important gadgets that are gaining popularity and influencing society today:
3. Tablet computers are just now taking the world by storm. Recently, Apple unleashed its iPad, which received quite a bit of press for its funny name, but nearly everyone has been surprised by how popular the device has become. Other competitors are all racing to unveil their own tablet computers, which promise to take sales away from netbook and laptop computers. These devices can do nearly anything that bigger computers can do as long as they’ve got wireless internet access, and the only downside is that they can’t hold as much information. Still, that’s a tradeoff many are willing to make for the small size, light weight and increased portability they get.
2. eBook reading devices are gradually gaining popularity and causing traditional book sales to decline. With wireless internet access, people can download new books from anywhere at any time. Better yet, the latest eBook readers are equipped with fourth generation Wi-Fi capabilities, so whenever they’re connected to a 4G network, they can download books four times faster than other eBook devices can. Although many people were initially reluctant to give up their beloved paper books, once people have tried eBook readers, they generally never go back to traditional books. Readers love the fact that they can carry the content of thousands of different books, newspapers and magazines with them in less than the size that one traditional paper book would take up.
1. Cellphones have evolved quickly over the last 20 years from devices that once took up a lot of space and weren’t that portable to devices that are incredibly tiny and handle much more than phone calls. The cellphones of today are often called smartphones because of their ability to access Wi-Fi networks, which enables their users to get online. Of course, the most recent line of smartphones takes advantage of the speedy 4G networks that are available, which allows users to download songs, stream music or video, send emails or get online quickly. Americans love using their smartphones to update their Facebook pages and to "tweet" on Twitter because it’s one of the fastest forms of communication that has ever been developed. Apple’s iPhone helped lead the smartphone revolution, but these days many more competitors are releasing impressive products that seriously challenge Apple’s products.
