The document discusses how technology has progressed from the past to the future. It shows how computers have gotten smaller, more powerful and accessible over time. In the 1970s, the fastest computer was the Cray-1A, which was large and expensive. However, today's smartphones have more processing power but are smaller, lighter and cheaper. The document also discusses how the future is in the cloud, with services and information accessible from anywhere. It notes technologies like augmented reality and ubiquitous computing.
