MANILA, Philippines – As the world changes, so do our habits, perspectives, and lifestyles.
20 years ago, most of the technology we consider as normal today was just emerging. There was no Google to answer every query, no mobile phones to conveniently contact someone, and no appliances that were made with smart technology. People were still amused by the fact that more and more advanced consumer tech was popping out in the market like computers and CD-ROMs.
Contrast that to today: a television set can go up to 100 inches and still be as thin as a pancake. Huge files can fit in a pocket-sized device. Air conditioners are not the energy-hogging devices they once were, and now have the capacity to purify indoor air. Food can be fried without oil (!).
Even as you read this, home technology is evolving – and it’s improving the way we live.
