When people think of the march of technology, they tend to think of things like laptop computers and MP3 players. For me, the march of technology can be perfectly defined by these pocket-sized projectors. The projector used to be a bulky piece of tech found only in movie theaters and schools. That time, my friends, is long over.
Nowadays, if you want to project something, you need reach only into your pants to pull out any one of these pocket-sized projectors. iPhones, cameras, watches and more are all starting to integrate projectors into their design. It won't be long now before every cellphone and MP3 is capable of projecting movies and videos.
