It seems like just the last 10 years that tech has really taken over our lives! Although Youtube and Facebook feel like they have been around forever to me. I don’t know what I would do without tech in my life other than be bored all the time and most likely have better eyesight. I came across some crazy tech facts that are pretty interesting and at the same time mind blowing to think about. Especially since I remember having to make room on my phone so I could get new text messages. Plus the iphone I had last year I had to download an APP to shoot video! Now they are making commercial with them! So tech is moving fast and I love it! Seriously, how does anyone get ANYWHERE without GPS?
