Fast forward to this day, we can barely close our mouth after saying a WAOH to one technological wonder before another comes out giving no luxury of closing the WAOH with the “h” as marveling invention after thunderous invention has made it an extended WAOOOOO. The drama in the stages of science is such a suspense movie that could get even James Hardly Chase sweating enough to use a bed sheet as handkerchief.
There is barely any sacred time to fast as delicacy after delicacy is pouring out of the kitchens of Apple, Microsoft etc. Yet there are no bouncers in this party of technology as anyone sophisticated enough could get in. Hence Pepsi has put on their dancing shoes ready to rock the tech world!
