Who the hell uses this anymore?

Thanks for sharing the picture, that's really cool. I didn't do much research into the validity of the picture I included for the 1920's, i just search "1920's TV" on google images :P

well then...

I did :D then again I made it...

I tell you, you can't want something old with sentimental value without being called a hipster. I would get one if I were you though.

Am I a hipster for wanting something old and that works? Those old radios are surprisingly expensive and hand-crafted, which I would like for my bedroom instead of my blasted piece of plastic that beeps constantly.

Plus there's the fact that they look awesome.

Indeed!

Not true. They started mass producing and selling them prior to WWII, but suspended production during the war.

You know, in the chart, the first computer was made 72 years ago, so I woudn't mind consider a 5 years old laptop from "today".

The point of that was to show that in the early days of the radio, broadcasts featured news and was also used by the government for important messages to the public. Today, radio stations have talk shows and are more for entertainment than information.

Songs?

uncomprehensible noises maybe, but actual music? Not a chance

MFW "music" today

I think it will be a balance between robots that can kill us once in a while ( like geth) and robots that are awesome like these the rest of the time.



The future is going to be intense and awesome.

Did you play ME3? The Geth were in the right.

Yes but i have not finished it....

Have you gotten to the Geth/Quarian conflict part yet?

mmmmmmm nope haha. no spoilers!

Well, the Geth certainly aren't evil.

yep. even robots have factions with different opinions!

By the way, if you don't side with the Geth, you're a bastard.

if it was the same power wouldn't that mean it would be the same power?

I mean same power per square inch of the processor

wouldn't that be really expensive? intel made extremely powerful processors (4 ghz+) to try to get ahead of the rising demand. how ever demand leveled out and their competition (AMD) making much cheaper CPU's. So a large powerful processor that is over powered would be overpriced, and would not sell well.

Oh okay, I was just wondering. Maybe thats where processors will go after some time

but seeing how fast technology grows, that processor would soon be trash in the next 5 years compared to the new processor which would be able to run games in 20 gigabytes of RAM.

I remember when i got my first laptop in 2004 and it only have 1.5 GB of RAM lol and would shutdown because it got overheated after playing too much age of empires ll
Now i have a laptop with 8 GB of ram and is able to run games much smoother and runs 24/7 without shutting off.

I am trying to play Empire: Total War on my PC side of my MacBook Pro but my computer shuts off after a while. I bought this computer maybe 3 years ago. But I can play Civilization V on my MAC side no problem. I used to be able to play all my PC games, but since this year, my computer keeps shutting off. I went to the MAC store and all my hardware us fine. PC side has no viruses. Now, Shogun 2: Total War won't even open... The Geek Squad told me they don't know what to do and left me to my own devices...

Fuck computers. I am getting a pack of cards.

gif related.

Quite likely, with current graphics reaching the holographic state (some claim to be able to have it by the end of the year, they are just full of themselves and a decade is more likely) we may soon need cpu's several times stronger than the current rate.
This is just a prediction for the next decade, but i can promise you the standard will atm least double in the next 10 years.

i completely forgot about that principle, moores (no idea how its spelled) law states that computing power potentially doubles every 18th month. this does not exactly apply to the standard for home computers as they still need to affordable while being able to do what they need to do, making it not very smart business wise to invest where there's no demand

what do you know, i actually spelled Moore correctly (excluding punctuation)
