How Far We've Come; Video

Posted January 26, 2010 7:17 AM

Now that we've entered the 'future' year of 2010, it can be instructive (and sobering) to look at the growth of technology in just the past 10 years. This video report from the BBC News asks people to measure their techno-savvy in 2000 against the dramatic changes in computers, game systems, cameras, and similar products. From the Internet and communication to entertainment, it reminds us of the dramatic impact of that inexorable and continuing evolution.

The preceding article is a "sneak peek" from Test & Measurement, a newsletter from GlobalSpec. To stay up-to-date and informed on industry trends, products, and technologies, subscribe to Test & Measurement today.

Too bad so many things still come with instructions nearly impossible to understand.

Apparently not very far.

When one clicks on the link one gets an advertisement with no apparent luck on getting to the video of interest.
