    When the ps2 came out, it was revolutionary for gamers. Not only did it have insane graphics it also provided online gaming with others in the area. Taking gaming and functionality to a whole new level. Friends are able to play together from the comfort of their own home. I remember being addicted to this console at first site, I felt like the man. It had so many game I had options.
  • Music Players - IPod

    Music Players - IPod
    The battery life was pretty good and both types of pc users were able to use and download music to their ipod. A legendary apple product in my eyes, they kept these things around for a while and they were basically indestructible. I had one when it first came out and it lasted me years.
  • Smart Tv - HP Mediasmart

    Smart Tv - HP Mediasmart
    HP - Hewlett- Packard
    This was the first Tv with music applications, video applications, photo applications and other online services. The screen still reminds me of a desktop monitor. When my dad first got one, I swore I was the coolest, normal Tv's didnt do half the things the smart tv did, and this tv had a music app.
  • Android Phones - HTC Dream

    Android Phones - HTC Dream

    This is the first smartphone to hit the market. As you can see by the keyboard most phones that came out after actually had keyboards as well. Making it easier to type. I actually ended up getting one of these as a hand me down, they keyboard was so convenient.
  • Tablets - Ipad 1

    Tablets - Ipad 1
    Terry Gou, Foxxconn
    A laptop and smart phone in one. Big screen, big fonts, this tablet made it easy to maneuver for people who worked from home or is always on the move at the office. If you had children, this was their favorite toy! I got one the day they came out, and it was better than my xbox at the time. The portability was key but it also had good battery life and was able to surf the web.
