Changes

Although the technology marketplace appears to evolve at a rapid and continuous pace, much of this progress takes place in the form of incremental improvements. It is only once every 10 to 20 years that new technology truly results in sweeping changes to both the technology industry and consumer behavior. The late 1970s and early 1980s, for example, witnessed the introduction of the personal computer. The late 1990s, of course, saw the widespread adoption of the internet. A little over a decade later we are in the middle of yet another revolution in the form of smartphones and tablets.
