Electronics
The invention of the microprocessor in 1971 was a huge milestone that
eventually changed everyone’s everyday lives. This invention enabled the world
to own a personal computer in their home as well as their office. People were
able to work more efficiently and progressively with these new electronic
devices.
Electronics today provides the world with an infinite amount of
information at a much faster speed than that information would ever have been
available before. The American public is dependent on the usage of many
electronics in their lives such as the television, audio receivers, and
amplifiers to stay updated on world-wide issues. Electronics also provide a
superior tool for progression in the business world today. Business people rely
on electronics to communicate with each other faster and to store and quickly
organize vast amounts of essential data.
Electronics are improving at a blindingly fast rate. The newest
technology from five years ago is literally obsolete today. Electronics are
also being used for new purposes continuously. The Internet, or World Wide Web,
is a relatively new concept of being on-line. This new project has opened a
limitless number of doors for our society. Now anyone can use the Internet to
communicate with anybody else in the world a lot faster and cheaper. Cellular
phones have also appeared recently in the electronic world. These devices allow
a person to be reached from practically anywhere. With cellular phones a person
can, from then on, be in communication with the world no matter where they go.
For the next generation, electronics will certainly offer new yet
simpler technology available to the general public. Home addresses and phone
numbers will be replaced with Internet addresses. Business people will be able
to have access to tools such as video conferencing and such in their homes. The
workplace will ultimately become obsolete. Transportation vehicles will be
dominated by electric cars as natural gas supplies decline around the globe.
New procedures for creating power will be found and utilized. The current and
upcoming advances in technology will create a steady rise of the progression of
the everyday living experience.
I plan to enroll in a very prestigious university after high school and
major in electrical engineering. I plan to contribute my time during my studies
toward new possible designs of electronics and technology. I realize that
innovative minds are the backbone of the direction technology will take and,
knowing this, I will meet up to the challenges and technological walls now
facing us and attempt to climb over these obstacles.
The increasing role of technology in our lives is more unbelievable than
anything imagined previously. I will use my skills as an electrical engineer to
help create new, unimagined possibilities come true for the benefit of the next
generation. The limit in technology with electronics today is not based on what
speed our computers run at or how small our phones can be; it is based on how
innovative the minds of the individuals behind the technology are.
