Technology in the next 50 years

I can remember my first usage of the internet is in the fourth grade (that is if my memory serves me correctly); however, since then technology has grown tremendously! We went from cassette players to CD players from PC to laptops from MP3s to IPODs, see the list can continue. I think that technology is great. However, it is also a HUGE disadvantage. I have noticed that within myself that I have been dependent on technology such as cell phones, iPods, and the computers. When there is a problem with either one of these, I FREAK OUT usually; especially my cell phone. In the business realm, technology will continue to make things easier, possibly take over a lot peoples jobs. In the school realm, education will be a lot more exciting and things will become easier for students and teachers. In the world, generally like if things continue to advance, who knows we will be having machines doing things for us. Overall, in the next fifty years technology will definitely continue to have a greater effect on the world.
