Engineering that changed my life.

Here's a bit of Friday fun for everyone. smiley


Tell us the top three feats of Engineering and Technology that you consider to have made most impact in your own life and why.


I'll start with mine...


1 - The internet - goes without saying that this has probably had the biggest impact on most peoples lives not only mine! From increased knowledge and communication with the rest of the world to the simple act of being able to buy goods without leaving your own home... yes


2 - Medical Imaging - without it, I wouldn't be here today....


3 - The motor car - having a car and being able to drive opens up a whole world of opportunities. smiley


So what's yours?

     my first desk top PC had 50MB and my boss had a double removable brick set up to give a whopping 100MB because who would ever need more than that. 

     

    My first desktop computer had a 3GB hard drive which at the time was HUGE! laugh


    Nowadays I'm struggling with my PC at home as it only has a 40GB hard drive! I have a 2TB Cloud drive as well as another 1TB external hard drive, 1TB portable drive, two further 250GB drives and I'm rapidly running out of space for my photo collection! 


    Incidentally, I also met and interviewed the inventor of the flash drive (USB stick) Dov Moran. You can read all about it, and watch the video here.  blush laugh
