2 years

2 years is a long time.  Especially talking about this day and age of information explosion.

Looking at my last post I am pretty amaze how much and sometimes how little things has changed in technology world.  For one, Android software has grown very much in all aspects, but yet, it seems we are still stuck on the very same concepts of things: about having a tablet, keeping it charged, pulling it out and find information or entertainment on it.  The internals and UI may be drastically improved, but the paradigm remains.

But we are seeing the next wave of disruption.  Wearable technologies such as smart watches, smart glass(es) (e.g. Google Glass), and bendable mobile display.  These are getting more solid by days to pave the way of the next technology evolution.   I look forward to it.  Very much.

For now, I am pretty happy with playing games on a Nexus 7, reading on a Kindle, and using my phone while cursing its battery life (I am still rocking a Galaxy Nexus... I know...) and I am writing this blog on a Lenovo X1 Carbon (love it!).  I envision a year or two later, I would only have a smart watch with built-in cellular functions, and perhaps a Glass, and yet, I would still have a e-ink Kindle (it's pretty hard to take me away from e-ink now) and a laptop (a Chromebook perhaps?)

2 years is a long time.  I am still quite lost and in denial in social networking, but I am glad to say that my little one has grown quite a lot these 2 years.  So now I get to spend more time with him, instead of worrying about what to do with all the social networks ;)
