Iasi, Romania

Studies have shown that the more money a household makes in in a year, the more they spend on technology. It's unclear if there's a causal connection between the technology and money (i.e. if more technology causes more money), but it's also clear that people consider technology to be a completely worthwhile investment.

Technology also requires an investment of time because every day, there's a new gadget to decipher. It would take a machine to keep up with all of today's technological advances. "The Law of Accelerating Returns" is the idea that innovation is exponential: for every one new piece of technology produced, countless others will be created to piggyback on that invention (and so on, and so on). In other words, in this century we won't just experience 100 years of progress, we'll experience more like 20,000 years of progress.

In the meantime, can someone tell me how to work this cell phone? Browse these Hubs for to save yourself time and money and find answers to every technological question, large and small.
