Maker Of The Digital Age

We live in a digital age.

Through rapid advances in technology and telecommunications, we are now more interconnected than ever before. Children today are now technologically savvy from an early age. Some are even more familiar with a tablet as opposed to the traditional book. Computers have become personalised and have made education, leisure as well as work easier, more streamlined and efficient. However, if there is one technological marvel that has come to epitomise this digital age, it would be the smart device.

Almost everyone has a smartphone today, not out of want, but because of need. Sure, the smartphone is one of the most versatile and convenient pieces of technology ever created; however, the need for constant communication, be it for personal use or for work, has made it an indispensable device. With it, we can contact others over large distances, browse the internet for new information, listen to music, watch videos, take pictures, plan your day, et cetera, et cetera. Its functions are almost limitless and yet, designers are adding even more functionality with each new iteration.

Smartphones may be the most iconic smart device in the world, but it certainly isn’t the only example. Tablets, video game consoles, personal computers, the list goes on. Today, we might take these devices for granted due to their wide availability; but each and every one of these devices come from a manufacturing facility where employees toil away, producing thousands of components every day to build these devices.
