what major technological breakthroughs have occurred in people's life?

Answer 1

for me its electronic/ internet/ telephone banking. I remember in the old days when my folks would nalways need to go to the bank to make transfers or payments or withdrawals.

Nowadays you may never need to go into a bank. All you need is a phone or internet access.

Answer 2

For me, it's been the use of computers. It has helped revolutionize every industry (machinery, robotics), optics (machinery, robotics) where now we have far better optics for a multitude of uses from lens wear to space exploration; communications, all of the sciences that utilize it as a means of retrieving information and solving immensely difficult mathematical calculations, banking, information storage, law and law enforcement, education, athletics, entertainment... there's not a part of today's life that computers have not affected in a positive way... farming, farming machinery, husbandry, etc. Transportation. Security. It has even opened up untold job employments, too. We now even have computerized engraving machines, computerized sewing machines... everything around us seems to have some tie to computers nowadays!

I'd have to say that many other improvements have been made possible in other areas through the use of computers, too.

Answer 3

When i left home at 17 video recorders had just come out but were expensive, it was years before i owned one.
Needless to say mobile phones, the interenet, computers etc just werent around for the average person for a good few years more.
I remember once being really sick, and walking to three phone boxes to try to phone work, all were broke so i gave up and went home. Needless to say when i did go to work three days later i got the sack, it was very unfair

Answer 4

the internet; cell phones (started out with car phones...those were so big!); VCRs then CDs then DVDs; cable TV (for you kids out there, we used to have NBC, ABC, CBS and PBS only...imagine if we went back to that now!!); video game systems (remember Pong??); PCs; the space shuttles; digital cameras, video, etc.

Thanks for the memories!! =)
