I never thought about the future in relation to technological advances until reading this article. I remember when I got a Playstation for my birthday as a kid. I always had video games that used plastic cartridges until I got that. Now, the video game cartridge has become obsolete since discs are popular and dominant now. I remember as a little kid that the graphics in the video games used to seem so cool. One time I was playing a video game called Final Fantasy X on my Playstation2, and I will never forget how in awe I was during the cinematic parts of the game. The graphics look incredibility real. The playable part of the game did not use the same graphics, but the fact that video games have advanced so much is amazing. Now the Playstation that was once a big, console can now fit in one’s pocket since there is a portable version these days. I never thought as a kid that my PlayStation could fit in my pocket one day.
I also remember when I saw my best friend’s Iphone for the first time in high school three years ago. They weren’t that popular yet, and they were pretty expensive because they were new. I had never seen a phone with a touch screen. I’ve never really been into cell phones because I always break or lose them so I knew buying an Iphone was out of the question for me. But now it seems like everyone has a touch screen phone, and even companies like ATT and Verizon are producing them now. I hate using touch screen phones, but the idea of them is really cool. Now there is even the Ipad, another portable touch screen device that will probably become a new market.

I definitely relate to your story about your game systems. As a kid I was really big into video games and as the years went by I started to gain more and more consoles. I used to love the graphics and imaging as well. When the newer game systems came out like PSP and others I was definitely amazed that they were able to make the large console into a pocket sized portable game. Now some of the graphics used are pretty impressive and some games are able to make you feel like you are really a part of the game not just someone playing a character but really a participant.
