The reason I love tech

128Gb microSD card

taking over the samsung TV's at work with my S5, and randomly playing truffle shuffle youtube videos on them while people try and figure out what is going on while screaming at the site of super fat lads wobbling and slapping their own moobs!!

They still have no idea.

 

[DaleTheWhale]

Playing 2048 on the toilet. Once upon a time I'd have had to read the labels on whatever was within reach.

 

[TheVoice]

You were downloading your parents' home movies?

Eww.

 

[robfosters]

This one befuddles me.

How the hell can I beam music across the air, only for it to be picked up by my wifi router, then transmitted to my PC where software decodes it and plays it though my speakers.

Seriously, it's staggering!

tech is nice and all but i take/leave most of it.

but i suppose ditching the portable CD player for an mp3 player was quite special.

Scientists argued for years about how to reduce my penis size and now finally tech has allowed the environmentally-friendly disposal of it

Let's face it. Probably about 90% of us on here have not got an absolute scooby as to how the tech we use every day actually works.

128Gb microSD card

This, a hundred times this!
When I saw Blu Rays as 50gb I thought wow! Now we have 128gb on something the size of a thumb nail and weighs a couple of grams...

 

[robfosters]

Music is a funny example of how tech gets smaller over time.

First we had records, then we had CD's, then we had minidisc and now the main format is MP3 which is invisible

I tried finding something in SharePoint today.

So, no.

What was your last "oh god, technology is awesome" moment?

Driving to London in a Hybrid and only using £20 in petrol. Then realizing the McClaren P1 would probably use just as much and that's a hypercar.

 

[Ryan-3]

I was remotely downloading their favorite (free to view home movies)

These are the last things that made me go wow.

In reality though why not, it's dust proof & water proof... Spread butter and wash it in the sink. Multitask like a boss. AND it has one of them ^fangled 128GB MicroSD cards inside

So, no.

i tried uninstalling mcafee, i feel a similar pain right now.

but every time i turn on my main rig, the refresh has done it a lot of good, ssd+virgin windows 8+triple screens= yep, whatever i'm planning to do today i know i can do it quickly and with minimum fuss and stress, its a good feeling.

on a side note [guess what i've been doing today] what is with bloatware these days? does nothing but slow everything down but it inexplicably breaks everything when you uninstall it?

the future isn't quite here yet i'm afraid. the corporate beast be ruining our fun

I'm in America this week and won't be back until the weekend. I had a reminder from Sky that one of my favourite TV series was due to start at the end of this week. I fired up my browser and using the Sky website I sent a remote record request to my Sky+ box sat inside my house so it'll be ready to watch when I get home at the weekend.

That's why I love tech!

So impressive what brain surgeons can do nowadays, especially as your penis was so close to it ...

 

[Stringy]

Earlier I was playing Super Mario 2 on my Game Boy Pocket while sat on the toilet.

Mind blowing.

 

[Medallion man]

The fact that I can connect a fifty quid USB music keyboard to my laptop and make my own music.

I love starting a YouTube video on my phone at home, getting to work and carrying on where I stopped instantly on my desktop. That's cool.

I also like being able to stream youtube from my phone to my smart TV.
