Comment Only way to see progress is to be an expert. (Score 1) 712
The argument can also be made that the only way to really understand technology is to be something of an expert in technology.
A case in point would be cell phones. They exist, are here, but have you ever really thought about the battery that goes into your cell phone? Cell phones in the past have had big batteries to make them last any useful amount of time. Today you have a battery that is not much bigger then a lego block, supplying more power to your phone then did that huge 80s style big block phone. Just how much innovation and revolutionary thought went into making that possible?
In the end you can't actually 'see' many of the changes that happen in your life. They are there, and nowdays, expected.
