So much technology around; is it ever going to stop?

Technology has been improving relentlessly, but is it ever going to stagnate? How can the world deal with this?


Just a few of the technologies around in today's world to make life easier. (Playstation 4, iPhone 5S, Samsung 3D TV, Fujifilm camera.)

Playing your beloved game, calling your boss to tell them you are going to be late for work, and capturing your treasured moments.. this has all been made possible with the different forms of automation available to us in today's world. But the question I have is how much more of it can we take?

Necessity. Us humans have now been brain-washed to believe we NEED these appliances, and without them we are depriving ourselves of the easy lifestyle we can be giving ourselves.

Technology has been developing rapidly through currently, and the pace only seems to be getting faster. Computer-crazy people must be licking their lips with the accelerating amount of technology being produced in present times. Major shopping brands such as Argos, Curry's and John Lewis must also be rubbing their hands in delight, due to the major amounts of money they must be getting from selling these kind of devices. Supermarkets like Asda, Sainsbury's and Tesco are also getting in on the fun too, this kind of business gets a large percentage of these shops profit.

The question I have however is how much more can the world take? Major companies like Apple, Samsung and Sony surely cannot continue to keep producing top of the range devices that satisfy the world, they must reach a stage of stagnation. My concern then is how the world is going to respond to this, will humans be able to cope with keeping the same mobile phone for five years or more, or have to wait for a further ten or twenty years for the next PlayStation. Will the world be able to manage, I think not.

I anticipate sparks..
