You can never keep up with technology...

The picture above shows Sony's new notebook, the Vaio P. It is one of the smallest, if not the smallest, notebooks on the planet. It is tiny but it can do what a full-blown computer can do and even better. Of course, this baby doesn't cost like those tiny laptops you see at BestBuy that cost around $300. It costs $900 and with today's economy, I don't think regular people will be willing to spend their dineros on this one.

It's really fascinating that electronic gadgets just keep getting smaller. One can never be "up-to-date" with today's technology. It's like every month, something better, faster, and smaller comes out. It gets really annoying when you hear people, especially whiny spoiled brats, go "Oh mom, I want this NOW!!! Can I have it PLEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAASSSSSEEEE!!!". They don't realize that there are other people out there who don't even know what a cellphone is because they're too poor. I mean there's nothing wrong with wanting to get something new but there should be limits.

With today's recession, I hope people learn to be content with what they have and become thrifty.

The way that this whole technology thing has been going these past 10 years, I almost think that they deliberately make things a little bigger than they need them to be, just so they can offer more seperate products down the line that are smaller, when really they knew how to make them that small the whole time...

Wait, is 900 dollars really that bad for a good laptop, the most expensive run around 2000 dollars
