Our fake sense of technological advancement

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_device_bandwidths here is a clue, notice the dates, latest 2008. And if you follow the trends you can figure out what must be about to come. And well here we are boasting about EVDO rev B.

 

I feel there are two worlds, the one we live in and the other one where for some reason people appear to have a vision and a brain. We here are slowly adjusting and adapting a 7 year old technology adsl2+. And we feel that WOW!

Coming to Iphones and all the smart phones etc. Well i think they are the biggest waste of time an money atleast the way we use it. We see no more utility of it other than watching movies where ever we go, music, facebooking, msging. How many of us use it for presentations, demonstartions or anything else useful. How many of us have any e-reader software installed?? The use we have for it i think we dont need it. So i guess it doesnot matter that we have high speed internet, all we ever do is ....

 

And a fact, i had been talking to a PTCL official, he seemed very pissed, he was quoting figures, almost 90% of our bamdwidth is multimedia related, movies, youtube, facebook and mostly the "p" thing! He was of the idea, is this the extent to where our brain goes??

If you have a resource use it for something useful. But sadly in our universities students dont even know how to use google!!! All the ever want is the teacher to spoon feed us. The little cute toddlers us!
