I miss my friends from college. *sigh*
so my mom said she'd buy me a camera for my birthday. Its unbelievable how the price of cameras has gone down, plateaud (plateud, plataeud, plateu - d? ??? ) really, after a certain amount of technological innovation.
For instance. I'm looking at buying either a Casio Exilim 10.1 mp camera with 4x optical zoom for 200 dollars, or a Kodak Z something with 12 MP! AND 5X OPTICAL ZOOM! INCREDIBLE! for about the same price. And they're these small compact cameras. I can't even believe it. I paid the same price two years ago for a 4.5 mp 3x zoom. And now. 12 mp. it doesnt even matter that it exists. 12mp cant be any different than 10 mp, right? but i feel like i should buy the 12.
okay lets discuss the technological plateau. When does it plateau? It seems as though the camera market is either plateauing or will be continually decreasing in price from here on out, as the upward slope in tech design hits its asymptote and companies begin finding out ways to make the product cheaper. My goal is to get in on said products on this mesa. Computers, cameras, printers. p.s. i am dismally disappointed in the quality of laptop computers. they should be way better, way more varied, than they are now.
Why dont they offer them in colors other than black silver and white? stupid mass consumerism. and why dont they turn into small furry animals so you can play with them, form an attachment, instead of being this boring hunk of metal and plastic all the time? and why arent they waterproof? this is a serious issue. they should def be waterproof. and stainproof. and they should be impervious to the outdating problem, constantly updating their hardware via software. i know thats impossible. but nothing is REALLY impossible. Is it?
another thing.
I did this earlier.
Why do people say "my mom" or "my dad". its so possessive. they could just as easily say "Mom", the same way one would say "clare". everyone knows they're talking about their mom. nobody is confused about whose mother is being talked about. but still everyone is saying MY MOM or MY DAD but really that would only apply if they were only children.
umm, thats it.

Actually, technology is supposed to continually advance until we merge with it, according to Ray Kurtzweil. So, if it plateaus, we will fall off of it, tumbling down the mesa
