Even with the entire world struggling during this coronavirus pandemic, the tech giant Apple has not stopped innovating. Through the last months, the company has been unveiling the specs of its new products, and recently they announced their new retail location in Singapore. This is not an ordinary Apple store.
Today we will take a moment to appreciate how far technology has brought us. If we go back in time, computers were not something that was a "must" to own. In contrast, nowadays owning a computer is a must, no matter if it is for the job, school, or personal purpose but your computer is an important tool.
Do you still use Snapchat? I still remember when this app was really popular among users. A couple of years ago we took our best selfies with Snapchat's filters. Then, Instagram stared offering their users new filter options, and now Snapchat is apparently forgotten. It is important to mention that if we compare Instagram vs. Snapchat selfies, the ones taken with Instagram will be higher quality and the picture will also look cleaner. Let us not forget to mention that both applications are part of the Facebook group.
The "buy now, pay later" service is becoming day-to-day more popular among companies. This idea appeared many years ago, but it has reactivated when the pandemic appeared because users were only purchasing first instance products such as food, hygiene items, and medicines.
Technology was a boom almost since it appeared. When the first robots and computers were launched, people had been doubting if this event could be something worse because they had the idea that tech makes the things easier for students so they would not learn in a proper way. The same thought came with jobs. Technology would become so advanced that it would replace people for certain jobs, but this was not true. It was obviously the first impression that many people all around the world got about tech. Nowadays technology is more a need than a want. We use tech tools for almost everything through our daily routine.
