One of the things that really gets me is the fact that we're now disappointed when we go to a place and they don't have a way for me to open up my nicely designed aluminium computer and just browse the internet with nothing more than a password.
And then further than that, that we're getting to a point where that is beginning to matter less and less thanks to advances in cellular technology. When I stop to think about what we can do with cell phones and their networks it's just mind boggling - from what the cellphone can do, to the fact that you press a button, and suddenly my laptop and my friends are browsing broadband internet sourced through my cellphone (which has a processor core 3 times more powerful than the machine that my dad paid $5000 NZD for in 1998 - which was super top of the line, PII 300, 3d accelerator, video capture and EVERYTHING!).
Proliferation of wireless and cellular technology is just so damn cool.
