The Decade.

As i sit down to write this piece of blog time seems to fly by. I still remember the day when we entered the new Millennium. But this decade has been a great one.

As i am more close to technology i will prefer to talk about them as there was a huge change and we took a generation leap when its comes to gadgets around us. This was the decade we went digital in true sense. Be it the cars which we drive or the mobiles which we use.

The most Imp milestones of the decade when it comes to technology was Google....google bought to us a huge array of products which are being used by each one of us. And going into the next decade they are carrying a weapon called Android which virtually puts google in everybody's hand. My estimate is that 1 in every 3 person on this planet will come in contact with a google product by early 2012. that's a huge number and here normal market theories don't work. Google has become a huge monster which we are feeding.

The other most imp discovery was Facebook, never thought a simple website connecting ppl will be such a  huge success. Mark zuckerbrg became the youngest billionaire and at the time of writing this article Facebook was valued at $50 Bn. Frankly speaking i personally feel facebook with current set of products is a big hype. The next decade will be a big challenge for them.

Not to forget wikileaks as it has changed the way world looks at the art of whistle blowing.

When it comes to hardware i guess the only few company to have top of the mind recall would be Apple, Sony and Nintendo.

Apple not only came up with ipod and iphone and finally the Ipad, here we can safely call them the most successful product in our history.
By launching Iphone we took the first step towards amalgamating human feelings with a machine. and what a successfully product it was. kudos to apple for using their bandwidth to bring a product which was so far from competition that it took them 3 years and some support from google in the form of android to come up with a product whcih we can call a worthy competitor.

Sony on the other hand gave gamers their ultimate machine. With the launch of PS3 the possibilities in a game opened up exponentially. by the end of 2010 they launched Playstation Move. A motion sensor gaming platform. This is simply going to change the way we play games in future. And how can we forget Kinect from Microsoft, well lot of ppl praising it. with this we can be sure that gaming in next decade with be a lot different.

So many changes happened in this decade which are worth the mention but lack of time keeps it aways.

As far as i am concerned i am writing on this blog after 2 years. And i hope to write more on specific topics related to technology and other things of my interest.

Adios.
