As I began to watch David Kelly's talk at the 2002 Ted Conference, he showed a photo of the then BRAND NEW 'Treo' device. My jaw dropped as I think of the new Palm Pre today, introduced with only maybe 7 years apart, its shocking to see just how far we've come in the realm of just communication devices. I won't even mention the "Zack Morris Phone." The concept of its functionality is based from the same seed, an all in one device... knowing your schedule, being able to take notes, as well as...

I am not really into sports, though I don't mind socially going to games, etc. I did indeed have a Nintendo and Sega, but those really didn't get much use. I was more the tech and car fan. My game as a kid were identifying cars driving down my street to see just how faraway I could get the make and model before the car went by my house.
