From the giant Hummer that couldn't fit in narrow streets to the tiny Nissan Land Glider clearly gives us a peek at what the future of cars will look like. Today's cars still guzzles gas, not just that, they're too big. What will happen if we run out of space? Build roads that run across the building's surface, sure, but that will cost a lot of money, permission will be needed from different companies, not just, we have so many buildings that need to be covered. Solution, cute mini electric cars.
The way they designed the Nissan Land Glider is very pleasing to the eyes, curved lines, the clean white color and a happy face in front compared to the dark straight edge angry bull looking Hummer.

Do you remember when those bulky square cellphones came out? I'm glad to say I sure don't, I was probably too young to remember. I grew up with the nut looking phones like the Nokia 5110 , which are palm sized, and they had big heavy batteries and were ugly, but anyway lets fast forward to 2009. Steve Job's Apple IPhone, thin, light, shiny and touchscreen, no white plastic buttons on this one.
Today, we want sleek, curvaceous phones that connects us with everybody in touch of a screen (not button). We design to appeal everybody, young or old, rich or poor. The IPhone design appeals to everybody. The old cellphones appealed to old rich businessmen with briefcases who waved for taxis in, calling different secretaries one by one letting them know that they're running late.

Size really does matter. Especially for computers, the smaller it is, the more convenience it offers. Nowadays, nobody has time to sit down in front of the big computer to check emails, send projects, finish up a pie chart, etc. We're "on-the-go" impatient people of the 21st century, everything is fast, portable, and pocket sized. Our culture shapes the technology designs that are being developed.
