How latest is latest?

Today’s reality is to find ourselves revolving sometime more than the earth’s revolution from the start of history. We find innovations taking over the world before we comprehend it fully and changes show that we somehow should comprehend as fast as possible. The other day I was going through the website called article alley where I found the example of ‘Roll top’ an hybrid of laptop notebook and a television put together and rolled which is carried like a bag in the shoulder. Innovations take over the world in a jiffy. People move on by making different devices into one. Making that device into a smaller one and making its quality inversely proportional to its size.

A new technology brings in such an amount of change that it takes some time to learn how to use them and when we ultimately learn it we see another technology taking overtaking what we have learnt to become obsolete in a matter of a few days. Article alley came out with another article on web based computing called cloud computing where our own personal computers are just input and output devices whereas the processing of various programs and the user interface are stored in a totally a different cloud created by corporations which are based on information technology. When we call this to be the latest innovation, I would never be surprised that a newer technology would evolve before we could fully learn about it. So it is always late to learn the latest when the latest itself is latest.
