The Power Is In YOUR Hands

Technological innovators used to be limited to only the rich and powerful. Times have changed.

As technology advances, the power to innovate has shifted to now be in the hands of the people. Thanks to advances like the telephone, computer, and internet, we are able to access more information. With the increased access to information, anyone has the ability to innovate. Innovations used to take much longer than they do in the modern era. Technology creates a more efficient life while also posing threats to civil society. 

Some technological devices have gone out of fashion. However, those devices have helped to continue the evolution of technology. 

The printing press led to the innovation of computers and printers. The invention of computers then led to personal laptops.

The telephone led to the invention of the cellphone and eventually to the iPhone. 

The development of the radio led to the invention of cable television, DVDs, and then led to the creation of Netflix.  

As technology continued to advance, the internet was invented. Followed by websites and social media were able to be created. 

Many of the beginning technologies like the carrier pigeon, printing press, and the telephone, are not often used during the modern age. However, the advancements to original technologies continue to grow. An interesting difference from the original communications technologies to modern advancements is that common people now have more ability to innovate. Private individuals have become millionaires by turning a website into a form of media used by the entire globe.
