Wow - What a powerful video! Showing the parade from the 1900s with just one car to the 1913 parade just showing one horse and saying that was when things were moving slowly was such an eye-opener. I have never been to an Amazon Go - but that was amazing to see! I did recognize the Robots in the beginning - they belong to an Amazon distribution center and you can take your kids on a virtual field trip there. It was quite a great interactive field trip.
Technology truly is changing the world we live in and I know I will be blown away with what comes up in my lifetime. I don't even know if today's kids can see how much the world will change in their lifetime. They already have self-driving cars - I think of a show from my youth called The Jetsons - how far off are we from our flying vehicles? It's scary and exciting all in one, which is why it is so important to start educating children when they are young about technology and its impacts of it.
I did read a comment left by another participant talking about a wifi washing machine. Although I don't have that, I do have a Smart oven I can turn on remotely. This is VERY beneficial when we are out late for my kid's sporting events etc. I also have a robotic vacuum that cuts down on the times I have to do it on the weekend. These are things I didn't even think were possible when I was a kid! Amazing!
