I am amazed at how things progress, how things have evolved over time. I am not saying that things are moving forward any quicker than when they did, say when my Nan was in her thirties, but it does feel like there is something new every minute.
Is it that never ending need to keep up with competitors and to provide the newest, most stylish,whatever? One minute there is the iPhone and now we are on the fifth generation that promises faster browsing, downloading, uploading and more apps that you could even know what to do with. They talk back to you, plan your day for you and can be used almost anywhere anytime. It is now not just phones but TVs, laptops, lawnmowers, cameras, dishwashers, cookers and intelligent fridges.
With all of this new technology propelling us forward into a time where we are dependent on these items there are still some areas that either refuse to move on or simply can't. Like for instance the scene I witnessed this morning on my journey to work. Picture this - a 60mph road through Virgina Waters with a transit van travelling at approx 20mph with a man hanging half way out of it holding a hose. The sign on the back of the van read 'Warning weed spraying.' Genius!
