ILLUMINATING THE PATH OF PROGRESS IN THE 21ST CENTURY

Illuminating the Path of Progress in the 21st Century
Technological breakthroughs are no longer a thing of the past. In the 21st century there
are a few inventions which are common objects in our everyday lives. The internet, cell
phones, and computer technology are a few examples of inventions that are paving the road
of progress.
For example, the cell phone has evolved from being an expensive portable phone to an
inexpensive data, e-mail, and voice service that almost anyone can afford. At the rate
cell phones are evolving they may one day replace in home phone services. Years ago they
were bulky and required large batteries with a carrying case. Today's cell phones are
made to fit in your pocket comfortably.
Another example of today's high-tech inventions is the internet. Almost everywhere you
look companies are listing their website address. This relatively inexpensive source of
advertisement offers consumers the convenience of shopping anytime right from their own
home. Consumers can purchase everything from groceries to a car online.
Lastly, there is computer technology. Toy companies are already incorporating computer
chips in children's toys. The automotive industry has computer systems installed in cars
that lets the driver know if the tire pressure is low, a headlight is out, or what the
temperature is inside and outside of the car. It is only a matter of time before computer
technology will be integrated into robots which resemble humans.
