When video and computer games first slowly began to emerge – in the late 1970s and early 1980s – they consisted of nothing more than white sticks and a ball against a black background in a simple, electronic version of ping pong. As technology moved forward, so too did video games and the modern era features games designed for highly advanced home gaming systems or your touch screen laptop and maybe even your cell phone or IPod. However, as far from that past as the industry may seem to have come and as advanced as our modern day video games may feel, the truth is that twenty years into the future the touch screen laptop and today’s video games feel just as antiquated as the Atari or Coleco systems of yore are to us now. With all things being relative, one can only imagine what innovations could possibly make today’s gaming environment seem primitive.
