Episode 33: Changing Technology Part 2
Tuesday Jun 16, 2015
Tuesday Jun 16, 2015
Al and Steve continue their discussion of changing technology, talking about video games, computers, the internet, social networking sites, and cell phones. Again, we use the terms for those who don't know/for those too young to remember a few times. We're not trying to sound snobbish. Really. We apologize if we come off that way!
So by now you've heard us talk about how technology. How do you feel? If you grew up around the same time we did (80s/90s) are you happy you grew up when you did and got to see these changes? Or are you jealous of your child's smart phone/XBox/iPad/HDTV/etc? Feel free to comment on the Point of Insanity Game Studio Facebook page!
