Technology makes machines smaller

It is a wonderful thing that scientists and engineers keep working for a better world. Their inventions make life more enjoyable, travelling faster and daily chores easier. One thing that has changed homes and offices a lot is the gadgets that have become smaller and smaller within the last couple of decades. Television sets and computers fit into smaller space so there is a possibility to have more people in smaller space or in turn it is possible to have more square meters for an individual worker. The advanced computers have also made most of the secretaries useless so there’s smaller wages to pay and again, more space that you can use for other purposes.

Not only have the screens become smaller but hundreds of different features have become available in a small compact device, the mobile phone. The possibilities are limitless; you can have a world map, a dictionary, a flashlight, a calculator, newspapers, books, music, movies, and the original phone, to name a few features. In the future I predict that mobile phones will have health care technology too. Maybe there will be some attachable devices that help you examine a patient in environments where it would be normally impossible. In a couple of decades we might witness the introduction of pocket sized x-ray equipment. It feels unreal that we keep breaking the universal rules of physics by creating more and more stuff that people would have never believed to exist someday. Science fiction movies have invented a lot of imaginary devices that at the time not realistic. For example smart watches are the thing this year, but did you know that the concept of smartwatch is more than 30 years old. It has been the next big thing since 1982.

I am not an expert of anything but still I keep my eyes open in case of new technical innovations. Travelling back in time and teleporting are famous from X-men and Star Trek and probably neither of them will never be possible but such things like cloning (Star Wars) and flying cars (Back to the future) are becoming possible thanks to modern innovations in science.

I work within the dental health industry and it would be exciting to have some dentistry software in the near future. Of course it will first cost fortunes, but once you have invented something revolutionary, it will usually be cheap to duplicate it. Even though everything is not yet pocket sized, the modern technology is great.
