It's hard to believe that back in 2002, texting was seen as a limited, teenage phenomenon, and mobile phones still had next to no real internet access. It's true that there were prototypes that bucked the trend, but it takes a long time for product ideas to be made into a reality. Personal computers have changed dramatically over the last decade, to the extent that we take things for granted which were deemed futuristic only a very short while ago. Here are some examples.
The personal computer was already portable by 2002, but things have moved on from laptops, which were all the range, into much more portable devices. Smartphones and pads make things even more compact, and the use of touchscreen means they have a whole different feel of easy interfacing. It's fair to say that communication has become secondary in some ways to web abilities and office apps when it comes to what people want on their phone. Also the potential of live web chat has opened up at home with skype, meaning live video chat around the world is taken for granted.
For the PCs still in our homes there have been a lot of changes too, namely in the way we use them. Video streaming has improved to the point where getting to watch when you want it is more possible than ever, and OLED screens mean that you're getting an amazing viewing experience too. Better bandwidth has also meant better communication, with live video chat becoming standard.
In business hosted virtual desktops mean computers no longer provide the majority of processing power, instead relying on a server. This reduces costs and improves the security of the system. It means the power battles aspect of PCs in the office is not so important, as the server can help you stay up to date longer.
You might not think that things were so different back in 2002, but actually the more you think about it, the more progress we've made. It's really impressive to think how fast computers are changing.
