Best of 2007

Another year is about to end where everything got faster, smaller (except for Airbus A380) and more connected.

In my opinion, the best technology to come out of 2007 -at least, in the context of Australia- is the 3G mobile network. This has the potential to really provide the "any time, any where" connectivity.

I know 3G has been around for a while. But thanks to Telstra pouring in millions to promote their Next G network, everyone now knows the real advantage of 3G. Also, due to all network operators getting in to the the 3G game the cost for the consumer has come down to a more affordable level.

Overall, the technology which got me excited is the "Multi-touch screen". Before you all frown at me for not saying iPhone, remember, the touch-screen used in iPhone is actually a multi-touch screen. iPhone is simply a smart phone with a better and user friendly interface. The most radical thing about it is, the touch screen, which a multi-touch screen.
