The joy of being a millenial!
My generation - Millennials (1981-1996) have seen a sea of change!
- We jumped in glee at using the shiny CDs, followed by DVDs and then Blue-rays!
- We saw 'Thumb'/Pen drives proliferate along with external HDDs
- We saw Moore's law in action - performance of systems getting better and better while becoming smaller and smarter!
- Mobile phones metamorphosed from brick like devices to the smart snazzy devices that we use today!
- From Dial-up modems and their classic connection noise, that we would patiently handle we have moved to superfast broadband!
- Websites and Applications for each and everything - you name it, it is available!
- Laziness and convenience got a boost with on-line shopping. Anything and everything delivered at the click of a mouse!
- We moved from 8-inch to 5 1/4 inch to 3 1/2 inch floppy disks!
- We are connected more than ever before - very social!
- We are in the knowledge proliferation age. All that you want to know is available and all you have to do is just ask! (Quora for example!)
- We moved from PC 486 games (Dave, Paratrooper) to the immersive games of today while playing our hearts out with Nintendos (Wiis!), xBoxes and Kinect!
- We saw our TVs grow in girth and the diagonal, while leading to the really thin wall mounted smart screens of today!
- Air travel changed from being a costly affair to a weekend affair!
- Seeking out long forgotten friends and class mates is now a breeze thanks to all the networking tools out there!
- Showcasing our talent and making it accessible to the world is now a cinch thanks to the social media platforms!
- Better cars, better roads and the discovery of amazing places thanks to apps such as Google Maps make travelling an adventure!
- Today, we are seeing the very nature of work change. Working in your passionate areas, getting paid for it and working from anywhere!
Isn't this a great time to be!!
