Through every generation something new is developed that brings joy to the newbies of this world, and that isn't a 300 posts and 10000 words newbies I mean the younguns. The future of our planet. Every generation there is something that is the best thing around and every wanted at the time but it cost a bomb.
Think about when your parents would talk to you about 'In my day', well they didn't have the great technology that we has, believe it or not but they didn't have any form of computers, right not I am expecting some seriously worried people trying to imagine this world but it wasn't so long ago now.
So how have we come so far so quick? If you took some from 0BC and took them into the 15th century would they have been that amazed at the rate of which technology had involved? I doubt it. But if you took your great great grandad and put him in the world today he'd probally have a heart attack. WE have progressed so far and done it in such little time.
The Amiga was possibly to my knowledge which started this all off with the games which although addictive and amazing at the time didn't offer us anything out of this world. Through various staged the technology has doubled from the SNES and Sega to the Playstation and Saturn then onto the Jaguar and N64 to the Dreamcast and PS2 to the XBox and GameCube.
All of this has happened in a maximum of I'd say 9 years. But 20 years ago if someone even played on a SNES they would have been highly impressed, so as a result of this quick advances does that make us expect more? Again going back to the old days topic, if you had asked someone what would you want from a computer game 20 years ago and then asked that same person the same question now the answers would be completley different.
Does this make us more greedy? Expecting more out of things? Well not really, we've grown to live with out surrondings which involves gaming, gaming is like an art, some are good at it some aren't, there's no one inbetween. But what can the future hold for us, hard to imagine but what do you think computer games will be like when people my age (Secondary School) start to have children. As time seems to be getting shorter and technology starts to speed up who knows what the next step is.

Nice one!
Now let's all calm down, it might have stood a chance of convincing people if anyone actually read it, oh well another wasted post by me and another day or sorrow on SR getting ignored.
