Weekly Photo Challenge - Technology

[ses5909]

I've never had an excuse to take pictures of my technology!

[akritic]

A vague glimpse at technology in action - my desk. Well, Some of it.

You'll notice all the hallmark traits of a workspace, PC, USB Memory sticking out from it, Printer, Telephone, Monitor. Coffe cup. Etc.

The only piece that isn't in there is my phone which i'm taking the pic with



You may even notice the windows "restart your computer for the updates to take effect" box in the middle of the screen - huh technology you say?

ManigaPhoto,

Cellulose! Ah, warm memories of a bygone era...

Datura,
AMAZING!! Nothing else can describe it.

Thank you much I try to play with light a lot, there are so many ways. Next year when I have more time I will try some things that I have ideas for…

ArmChair,
If only I had the computers they use in TV shows, I could zoom in and enhance that photo* and read all the 'proprietary' data on those papers on your desk.

Steal your top clients and get your laundry list!!! Muhahaha.


*recreating data that is lost to pixelation.

If only I had that technology myself I could remember what I was doing just last week work = busy

What better represents "Technology" than the US Space Program?


This is the 'gift shop' at Orlando International Airport.

Living in Orlando, am able to watch every launch from our home.

Here is the view from my home/office.

The speed at which goods can be transported is truly a wonder of technology!




Is it 'cheating' to post in two places?

[Datura]

This is a great shot Parkin The Fedex, I too marvel at the service they provide with their latest technology.

The Nasa shop is fun. I too can see all launches when the weather is good. Distant though. I run out to the front of the house and look eastward.

The other day for some reason I was staring at my soda can thinking about how cool the pop tab inventions was (i regularly think about things that don't matter) and I thought...Hey! That's technology, and voila!

[ParkinT]

Sara,
You make a great point. We take for granted many 'simple' items that require a large amount of 'engineering'. Think about the amount of pressure in that can (particularly during transit, as it is jostled). The 'pop top' must withstand that pressure within a defined tolerance and STILL be easy to open!
I, too, am awed by [seemingly] insignificant things.

[akritic]

That is a nice pic, simply a utility object and also as a used object also.

When I was a child, the christmas tree we would find in the woods and set up on the 24th, had clip on holders to burn beeswax candles. An unforgettable aroma, the fresh tree and the candles. Today we use these. They are safe, and technology made it so, but it is just not the same.

PS. Sara, the pop top is fun It is amazing how much we take for granted all these little inventions that make life so much easier for us.

[WarpNacelle]

Okay, so is this a good use of technology or a bad use?

Datura,
I love your Macro perspective!!

Datura,
I love your Macro perspective!!

Well thanks

I am also known as a "Detail Freak". Small little things just fascinate me.

[Datura]

Convenient Plastic is just that: convenient. I took out my xmas stuff and washed out the container, letting it dry in the sun. The backlighting made it look like e jewel

awesome shots as usual!

[Datura]

Thanks Sara

All things around us have an appeal to take a picture really. I watch the lighting on objects, it is a grown habit of mine from long years of observing to paint and abstract properly.

PS. Hartmann, I love that wing of the wind power thing. It really brings home the dimension of this. Nice.
