Advancements in Technology.....

Have you ever just sat back and thought about how far we have come as far as technology goes? Guys like myself, TH, Secretus and a few others can remember a time when there were no cell phones, no fax machines, no internet. We can remember when video games were so full of polygons that it was sickening.

Computers? we had the Commodore 64, no laptops. I remember when getting Pac Man meant I was the most popular kid on the block.....

Think about this....how is it gonna be 20 years from now? 30 years from now? When we have grandkids, are we gonna understand their new toys and gadgets?

I remember a time when there was no spoon. And there still isn't.

😛

It is pretty awe inspiring. Even more so for me, having moved from the middle east to the US. Quite a culture shock as far as advancements in technology. Video Games and music of the electronic variety are getting more and more complex everyday. Makes me wonder how I'm going to look back in ten years time and be even more amazed.

I know. My grandpa, rest his soul, couldnt even figure out a simple remote.

i think about that all the time think in the next 20 years we could have playstation 9 😛 and xbox 999 elite 😛

I have no idea. I'm ready to see though. But then again, the future is already occurring. I would have never dreamed of an "iPhone" 5 or 6 years back.

true 😖hifty:

I can't wait till I'm too old to understand how technology works.

In video game terms, people are losing touch with why they exist.

It's becoming more about what they look like than how they play, rather than a successful combination of both.

Cruel Jedi is right, there'll be PS9 by then, purely cos people won't stop accepting shit.

I remember when we didn't have Homeworld Security.

And now we have spaceships patrolling our space. 13

I remember when gas was under a buck a gallon.

I remember when candy was free.

I remember when the Tatanka ran wild.

I remember when all you had to do to fix an old school game was to blow in it and bang on it

I can remember when there were no mobile phones and no internet. I remember getting stupidly excited when my dad replaced our Amiga 500 with an Amiga 1200. We also had a joystick and a big ugly gun thing. Favourite games? Zool and Fire & Ice 😱

I remember when Syren only needed two drinks to start insinuating suggestive situations.

Now she needs eight. weep
