In
the modern day, technology has become a crucial part in the life of
mankind. If we look around, we might be able to spot someone
constantly staring and tapping on a small piece of plastic. Someone
else could be sitting still with a small piece of thin cable plugged
into both ears. Early human beings would think that our generation is
bizarre. Nonetheless, we can agree that our everyday lives have
become so much more convenient thanks to the endless possibilities of
things we can do with the outputs of current technology. When we make
a video call, chat in a group message, read an
e-book
on a tablet, watch a how-to video, or Google
the recipe of an apple pie, it may not come to our attention that at
one point people could not perform any of those tasks and some of
those words did not even make any sense. National
Geographic has
created a series called “The 80’s The Decade That Made Us”
which claimed that, just like its title, the 1980s was the decade
that heavily influenced the lives in the twenty-first century.
Significantly, the 1980s was the decade that kicked off the journey
of modern technology as we saw the first personal computer, the first
cellphone and the first
hand-held
video game.
