The Lucky Kids of Today!

Everywhere i go i see a kid with their iPad and iPhones and i think about how life was when i was that age. Alot had changed in the last 15 years. Here's a look at whats available now vs. those that was available during my youth.

   NOW kids these days enjoy video games on the XBox 360 and the wireless Nintendo Wii. On top of that its on High Definition television and the graphics are crazily realistic. 

 

 

 THEN i had my very first console game player which was the SEGA Mega-drive II. Games were 16-Bit and in 2D on a cartridge that sometimes, didn't work. I still have this somewhere in my closet, and it still works! My second console player i got, the Sony PlayStation stopped working a year after i got it.

NOW we have the iPhone. It can make calls, make voice calls, surf the internet, play games, check the GPS locations, take videos and pictures, play mp3s, It can do almost anything!!!

THEN i had my first phone in 1999, the Ericsson T10 which can make phone calls, send text messages and ... errr.. nothing else really. Before this phone all i had was a pager!

 

NOW we listen to music on MP3 players that has the songs built into the machine itself. It can play unlimited amounts of songs depending on the capacity your MP3 player has.

THEN i used to listen to music through the Walkman or Cassette players and the music was on a cassette tape that could hold only about 2 hours worth of songs. (I Think). Quality was shit. After this out came the DiscMan that played Compact Discs followed by the failed MD player, and finally Singapore company CREATIVE invented the MP3 player.

NOW we have the DVD players that plays DVD's and BluRay DVD's.

THEN we had VCR's playing these bulky things that can mould up and jam up inside and ruin the whole tape!!

NOW we have the iPad, It can do everything the iPhone can and more.

 



THEN the closest thing we had to then iPad was a pen and a writing pad.






So much more have changed, when i started using a computer it was on MS DOS and Windows 3.1. The Internet was just invented and the speeds were at 56.6kbps. How much has changed in 10 years? We can can get internet speeds in Singapore up to 100 MBPS, thats a 100,000 KBPS! Damn! Miss those days when it took me a whole night to view a couple of porno images.
