The Playstation was supposed to accept new Sony designed video games and Nintendo classic cartridges - it would be able to play both kinds of games. The internet, once thought to only be accessed by phone line, can?play music, create presentations, keep track of important dates and maybe even handle a phone call or two. There once was a time where cell phones received and made calls only. When video games provided gaming entertainment and nothing else.
That idea created a single unit performing a variety of functions playing all three formats that of the CD, video game, and the video game. Soon after it was launched, the playstation instantly transformed the idea of the entertainment centre. Instead of a multitude of wires, cables and connections, one tiny console was doing all the work. It could slice, dice, chop, puree and more.
That big bang set off this era of everything in one. The internet, once thought to only be accessed by phone line, can?play music, create presentations, keep track of important dates and maybe even handle a phone call or two. Video game systems are now conduits for downloading movies and cell phones are libraries of information. Everything does everything and is capable of doing everything else too. And where did all this modern technological unity begin?
That抯 right, with the Sony Playstation.
There once was a time where cell phones received and made calls only. When video games provided gaming entertainment and nothing else. Where there wasn抰 one appliance that could whip, flip and nip. An era where there was just one tool for one job. Those days are long gone.
We have become so accustomed to having all this technology at our fingertips that we forget the dark ages where things weren抰 as automatic and as accessible as they are today. In terms of technology, the dark era ended when the Sony Playstation was born.
Today, we demand our technologies to simply be capable of so much more. A cell phone can抰 merely take calls; it requires a web browser, video player, GPS tracking and a music player. And if said cell phone doesn抰 have a digital camera, it might as well be used as a doorstop. The electronics we use today are either convenient or obsolete. And unlike the puritan 1950s, it isn抰 luxury that dictates the efficiency of our devices; it抯 time, or lack thereof. And Sony playstation comes under this philosophy.
