Power.

"Something that has or uses power, that creates power or is powerful"

That was the brief, and I've gone for the almighty iPhone. Or smartphones, in general.

It only seems like yesterday I got a Nokia 3310, and thought it was the most advanced thing ever. Yes, I'm Old/Young (Delete where appropriate). Even as a child back then I thought, Where can they go next?

It's one of those things thats hard to imagine now. But Look at a landline phone. Nothing about that has really changed dramatically in decades, other than the wireless version. There is no logical step from "Mobile phone" to "Smart phone". And considering in the space of 10 years we've gone from experimenting with colour screens, to this. Something you carry in your pocket, that has a touch screen HD screen, and is capable of accessing all of human knowledge in seconds. Pretty much wherever you are in the world.

We use it to argue with people we dont know, and share funny pictures of cats. Thats progress, I guess?
