The Pace of Technological Advancement In The End Times

The technological advances witnessed in the last two decades of the twentieth century
were unprecedented in world history. Many technological instruments we had no idea of
even 100 years ago are now integral parts of our lives. Cellular phones, for instance, de-
scribed as a product of "space technology" in the journals of the 1980s, are now the most
ordinary means of communication. These rapid scientific and technological developments
provide clues about the sort of technology that
people will enjoy in the Golden Age.

Until the 1960s, television-related technology
could only produce black and white
televisions. Today, televisions
offer three-dimensional images
and high-quality sound.

Since Alexander
Graham Bell in-
vented the tele-
phone in 1876,
communication
technology has de-
veloped rapidly and
become wide-
spread. The produc-
tion of cellular
phones was a tech-
nological break-
through. The next
big step in commu-
nication technology
is expected to be
video-phones.

The first sound recording was done by
Thomas Edison in 1877. During the last two
decades, sound quality
has attained perfec-
tion in terms of
quality.
