Tech-xtinction?

It seems as though Apple has done it again.

Integration is the name of the game. As can be observed, almost everything that comes out nowadays can do almost anything and everything. One single device can have several functions, whether built-in or a downloadable application. For example, cellular phones now have camera and video functions, besides the usual call and text. Many mp3 players don’t just play music. They can also store pictures and play videos. Many also serve as an external hard drive. Everything is so accessible nowadays. Perhaps it is because wireless technology, once a dream, is now the present. And I think that it’s here to stay. At least until new developments come along.

But with the way things are now, it is believed that certain devices are rapidly becoming extinct. The top 6 such devices are the digital camera, video game consoles, navigation devices, tablets, netbooks, and e-readers. The culprit – Apple. With the development of their various products, and with the introduction of their iPad, Apple has entered into markets other than the typical computer market. They have downloadable applications that can do almost anything.

I guess you CAN have the world in your pocket.
