Random Thoughts on Recent Products

Something got me thinking about products recently and how they have changed the world.  It's quite sad when you think of how much we as a society have changed in just the last 10 years with all our modern technology that feels so different than what we used to use.  The reason it's sad is because what really has changed about us?  I still see the same lifestyle before as after.  Nothing has really gripped us in a way that changed everything; the most grandiose and recent I can think of is the Internet itself.  Recent products come down to fads or stupid ways to do something slightly simpler or faster than before, but nothing that has really changed the world.  There is always a bottom line, so perhaps that has something to do with it; a quick way to make a buck and move on.
