Q1. Globally released worldwide, Microsoft Vista hit the markets in early 2007. Its ideology was to
enhance the security system of the personal computer. But the security features weren’t all that better than
its previous versions’, according to many software critics. Vista is also not compatible on all sorts of PC’s
and runs slower compared to Windows XP. All of this prevented Vista from being a better version and it
never took off like the company had hoped.
Q2. A couple centuries ago, if you wanted to record a moment for posterity, you sat around for hours or
days while someone painted it. Up until ten years ago, you were at the mercy of photo developers charging
20 cents or more to help preserve your memories. Now you can record countless images and store them
electronically for all of eternity at virtually no cost per picture.
Q3. With technology advancing at the pace it is today, we have to believe that by the end of the century we
won’t be driving our cars around the city. Rather, we will just be sitting on the then historic driver’s seat
and doing some work. While the concept looks futuristic, industrial designer Kubik Petr believes that
nothing seems impossible with modern technology at hand.
Q4. The Kenguru is designed only for the disabled. Previously car manufacturers would design cars for the
disabled but not specifically for them. This Hungarian company is taking it to the next step, the disabled
will be able to open the rear of the car and just roll in the driving position, secure their wheelchair —
without never having to leave their chair.
