Past and Future Technology

Minimum specs to run windows 2000 would have been, Processor – 133 MHz or higher Pentium.  The memory or RAM was 64 megabytes (MB).  The minimum hard drive space was, 2GB hard disk with a minimum of 650MB.  One of the common processors were, Pentium III Xeon, and 133 MHz Processor.  At that time we were using,  Internet Explorer 5.5, Windows Media Player 7, and the Windows Movie Maker was brand new. Now we have quad core processors and our ram is very commonly 4 gb and sometimes 8 gb.  Our GPU’s are nvidia 8800-9800 gt and gts, and the gtx 260 and 280.

Some common Cell Phones 10 years ago were, Motorola Talkabout T8160, Nokia 8210, Motorola V60.  These phones were very basic and had very low resolution screens very different from the phones we have now like the iPhone.  They were commonly flip phones with a standard keyboard.  Our phones now are iPhones and other touch screen and full keyboard phones, we are very used to texting and do not call people very often because we text very frequently.  Our screens are very high resolution but some day we will think back and say how poor the screens were on our phones.

10 years ago we were playing on our ps1 and our ps2′s, we very commonly used the Nintendo N64, these game comsoles were in our view now poor but back then it was break through technology, we would play them like we do on our xbox 360′s and our ps3′s.  Back then we did not have a live feature and we could not play wirelessly against our friends, now some people depend on their live to play with friends.  It is an easy way to keep in contact with friends with out having to get off your couch.

Cameras back 10 years were not very good quality, they were nothing like the cameras that we have these days.  These cameras were around 2.0 megapixels, they were very poor quality and the cameras had a very small preview screen.  The optical zoom was around 3x optical.  The image sizes were, 1632 x 1224, 1024 x 768, 640 x 480.  Now our cameras are around 10 to 15 megapixels, they are very good resolution and take excellent pictures.  The zoom is determined by the lens that you have on your camera, these cameras are known as slr’s.
