I found myself getting frustrated with my phone the other day.  But then I started to think about all of the problems I used to have with computers back in the day.  These are just some of the ones that I came up with and I’ll add more as I think of them.  Please feel free to comment about your own experiences with technology over the years…

When I bought my first computer (mine, not my family’s)  it had an Intel MMX 200mhz processor.

My new EVO phone has a 1ghz processor, which is 5 times faster.


When I first got on the Internet, it took an hour to download ONE mp3.

Now I can stream them to my phone… from my house.  Or stream podcasts.


When I first got on the Internet it could take 5 minutes to download a picture on dial-up.

Now I can stream HD videos on YouTube  to my phone.


One of the first FPS games I bought was Doom.  I had to bare-boot my machine with a custom AUTOEXEC.BAT in order to play.

Now I can play on my phone.
