Technology

Look at where we have come. Has technology made us lazy? I believe in some ways it has, but we know our minds are working well!

I am making this hub to show you all some of the gizmos and gadgets that have been made in the last 50 years.

As you can see, when speaking of gadgets, I was thinking of Albert Einstein. I thought these photographs of him were magnificent! The link where there are more is below.

Scroll down and check out some of these neat inventions.


Simon

In 1978 Milton Bradley put out a new toy called Simon. It was a hit! They premiered it at Studio 54 in New York and the nation went wild!

This was one gadget that made Milton Bradley a lot of money.

SIMON By Milton Bradley SIMON By Milton Bradley
Current Bid: $15.00

Kodak Instamatic 100

Wow, what a camera in 1963. You didn't have to load the film youself,it came in a sealed holder. Kodak came up with quite the gizmo here.


Timex Sinclair 1000

The smallest computer! It was released in 1982 and a whole 1 KB of ram. You would have a hard time with the keys, but everyone still had to have one of these gadgets.

One of the funniest one's I have seen!


Atari

Every kid had one of these game systems when they first came out. I recall playing "pong" for hours on end.


Regency TR-1

1954 brought the radio into your pocket. This gadget was made by Texas Instuments and was a big profit earner. The first version of the Walkman!


Hamilton Pulsar

In 1972 the first state-of-the-art LED watch hit the market. It was the Hamilton Pulsar and cost was $2100. The first ones were solid gold. They did get the prices down to around $260. Still a very expensive watch for 1972.

Nice hub, froggy. I thought about doing a tribute to the calculator watch for this contest topic, but I got busy. Nice review.
