Old Tech vs New Tech

Old Tech vs New Tech


            It is really crazy how much things have changed from even just 15 years ago. Cellphones have probably changed the most in 15 years. 15 years ago phones were all flip phones that could only really call people. There were also brick phones but those are even too old for me I don’t know what they did. Now we have phone’s that are as thin as paper and have touchscreens. They can also do more than just call people they can text, go online, give you directions, and even talk to you. The processors in the phones have gotten really good. It is crazy that computers used to take up a whole room almost and now we all have computers that are like a million times better than those old computers in our pocket. Now they have phones like the galaxy S6 that can charge wirelessly by just setting it down on a charging pad. Who knows what will come next with phones maybe you’ll be able to charge off Wi-Fi from your house.

Old Cellphone vs New Cellphone

            Cars and the way they are made have also changed a lot from years ago. It all started with people making horse shoes and wagon wheels and then evolved into a car factory with people and machines working together and now it is going to be the Tesla Gigafactory producing 50GWh in annual battery production and that is enough for 500,000 Tesla cars. The engines in the car have become more powerful and that makes the cars faster. The things like the material that the car is made out of and the oil that you put in the car makes the car last longer and oil changes are a lot less often. Inside of the car there have been a lot of changes the safety in the car has improved a lot. All the parts inside the car have changed almost all cars have heated seat some even have cooled seats there are also heated steering wheels. Most cars also have a touchscreen with the radio and a gps in it. Cars in the future will most likely be like Tesla they will be fully electric and they won’t need oil or any fluids really.

Old Car Shop vs New Car Shop




            The factories and people making these things have also changed. If you think about older car shops they are all dirty because there has been oil and other fluids spilled on the floor from the cars. Then you look at the new Tesla shops and since they are electric and don’t need oil the shop would be really clean. Even the people in the factories have been swapped out with robots to make things more precise and faster. And the robots will never quit working or get hurt and you don’t have to pay them. At the moment you still need people to operate the robots or at least program them. So maybe in the future robots will be able to do everything by themselves and we won’t have to do anything.

Future Tech First Blog

First Blog

One of my passions is learning about and using future technology. I got hooked learning about new technology that was coming out when I was young and was playing video games. I would always want the new console that was faster and could run better games. Then I got a phone and I started looking at all the new phones that were thinner and lighter and faster. Now I have a computer and I look at the faster CPU’s and graphics cards that are coming out. I also look at things coming out from Tesla like there Model X or the Powerwall but I don’t think I’m going to get anything from Tesla anytime soon because they don’t have any Super chargers or stores in Saskatchewan.

 There are some really cool things that are coming out from tesla and other companies like Google, Apple, and Samsung. It is really awesome to learn about the new Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge that can charge for ten minutes and have 4 hours of battery life or even wirelessly charge. Apple is making their phones and computers extremely thin but still fast and they look really good. Tesla is making fully electric cars that are fast and stylish and they just updated their cars to have autopilot and they are also beginning to make a battery that can charge off solar panels and power your entire house.

It is also cool to learn about what the people behind these companies have in plan for the future and what stuff they are making. Elon Musk is the owner of Tesla and he has the Model X planned for Tesla but he also owns Space X and co-founded Solar City. Solar city is a company that is trying to get more homes to run off solar power in the U.S. its also a plus because you can charge your Tesla off solar power. Space X is a private aerospace manufacture and space transport service company. They are trying to make a rapidly reusable launch system and they are planning to make rockets that go to mars to colonize it. Google has started working on an autonomous vehicle but it’s not going to well considering it got pulled over by the cops for going to slow.
