It's Not the Time Matters

Ever since walking on this earth, (most likely) human being has been exposed with rain. I expected that Adam and Eve was sent to any arbitrary place on earth, not a rainless deserts like Sahara or Gobi. And with rain, they need some mechanism of shelter. They stay on a cave, then build a roof, then used something to cover their top when walking outside home, and finally they invented a brilliant thing called umbrella. As time goes by, the umbrella that was made of wood and leaf changes into metal and plastic. Look at the two picture below,

The top picture shows the evolution of the lower picture. Courtesy of random googled pictures by the way :p The technology is about 1000 or more years difference, yet they still look pretty much the same with the same imperfection - still not be able to protect you from the rain perfectly. Compare to communication device nowadays, it was invented less than 200 years ago. And it looks totally different right now, with much more extended function.

We may need the communication systems to evolve and we might not need the umbrella to evolve, because we are simply satisfied with umbrella. Enough whit this chit-chat, I want to tell you that sometimes things don't change. It might not be precise as we found that umbrella actually changes in shape, but not function. Interesting isn't it? Thanks to some friends who accompanied me to eat some pancake some years ago. It was nice, with some awkward flavor. While no one thinking how to make umbrella be more interesting currently, there must be someone who is thinking to make innovation for cellular phone systems right now in this earth. While some things don't change significantly, there are things that changes rapidly that you don't even realize that it has changed.
