Thing 7: blog post about anything technology

There is so much to pick to talk about.
I have 4 boys. Bill is now 34, Anthony is 30 and Jon and Joe are twins at 14. I also have 2 granchildren.
Technology really took off when Bill was about 10 and Anthony 6. They received a Nintendo game station for Christmas. But the system was rather large by todays standards, attached to the TV, and had to sit on a shelf close to the TV so that the cords would reach between the two. And the games were about 5 inches square and inserted into the system. They enjoyed this gaming system even though they had to sit close to the TV because the controls wouldn't reach far.
Jon and Joe each got gamesboys as about age 7. These gameboys are hand held, the games were much smaller and these handheld systems could be played anywhere, anytime. JnJ wanted to know if Bill and Anthony like their gamboys and did they beat so 'n so in a particular game. They were floored to find out they Bill and Anthony had nothing like this and that technology has come so far in about 20 years.
Now there are such a variety of systems, each with their own games. There are several generations of gameboy. Each with their own set of games. First was Gameboy, then gameboy color, then gameboy DS . I don't pay attention anymore. My grandson wants a particular game, but can't get it because he doesn't have the next generation gameboy. . He just has a plain old 2nd generation gameboy color. Playstation has its own games. Gamebox has its on games and never the two shall meet. But you can buy separate systems, continually if you want. And then you're talking mega bucks. It's a shame that there are no universal games that could be played either on Playstation, Gamebox, etc. interchangeably.
Technology changes so fast that it's pretty hard keeping up.
