Today’s prompt is a tough one. Come to think of it, there have been so many inventions in the past couple of decades I don’t think I can think of one important thing.
Of the top of my mind, Camera phones. Who could have imagined a day when we don’t have to wait to get the photos from the studios. I love the fact that in a second we can capture a scene and then have it as a memory for a lifetime. I literally have archives of photos. I may not be in any of them but it serves like a time when I look at them it almost feels like I am seeing the scenes through my eyes again.
Oh MP3 players! I love listening to music so much. My parents had got me a portable CD player which I used till its dying breath. I think Mp3 players revolutionized the way we listened to music. we no longer had to carry around different CDs and could just change the tracks in the storage. And the number of songs you could save in one tiny device at that time was considered beyond imagination. Total introvert haven! Headphones In and I was in my own private land of peace.
I think “Google” also should be listed. I know that there were search engines before but Google completely changed the game for everyone else and made information so easily available. It was just beyond words.
All my inventions are around technology it probably is because I can’t think beyond these for now. Maybe after I have had some time to think about it I probably need to revisit this prompt once again.
