Operation: Opera, It's Technology! It's a Brand!

This article was written a few years back as an entry to the My Opera Writing Competition. It got past the first round winning over 350 other entries from around the world.

"INNOVATION IN TECHNOLOGY. TECHNOLOGY IS OPERA."

Technological Invention, who would have thought that these two words can actually be put together and who would have thought that they will soon be taken over by one simple word - Opera.

For decades now, people have been looking for technological answers to technological questions which seem to have no solution in sight. That's when the word "Innovation" comes in and that's why "netizens" - people of the computer/net world never stopped trying and inventing more ways to make this world a better place to browse in. They have come up with a lot of ideas - some were good, some were bad. Some were useful, some were useless and some were just some...but with the recent developments or discoveries in almost every aspect of the human race and of the computer world, these mind-boggling interrogatives are slowly getting what they are looking for - enter the picture, Opera.

The word "Opera" is fast becoming a household name. It could be like your pet or your bestfriend if you wanted to. After all, you could have it anywhere you go. With a single press of a button on your mobile phone, there you have it. The ever reliable Opera browser is not a phone call away. It's not even in Norway but just a touch away. Opera on the go (if I may say).

From the first release of which was called "MultiTorg Opera" in 1994 up to the latest "Opera 10", no one would be blind enough to notice of the so many features it has developed and produced. You must now be thinking that Opera in itself has undergone several "operations." You read that right. Remember the "Multi-Page" or "Tabbed Browsing" capability? Why not the "Proportional Scaling from 20%-1000%?" Or the Opera capability of "Saving Sessions." Yes, Opera can autosave sessions and automatically restore them when starting it the next time (even from a crash). What about the "BitTorrent" support running in Opera 9 (2006) and the "Speed Dial" feature in Opera 9.20 (2007) - a blank start page with a preview of preconfigured websites often visited? These are just a few of the so many things Opera can and has to offer. It is becoming the leader in browsing and software tech. Often imitated...just always imitated. "Technological Innovation in itself is Opera..."

Now, why do you think the world needs technology?

It's all in your hands and your Opera.
