A bunch of pictures showing the insides of the PS Vita, Tablets,Mac's and even an Atari to show how complex technology has gotten in 35 years.

Gotta say seeing these kind of things really help you to appreciate the speed at which technology is growing and its complexity.

Does this sort of thing interest you?

Except we've fallen behind. Technology is moving faster than we can keep up, and only the people that work in their respective fields can explain to you how something works in detail. As it is now, the average citizen uses many things for granted.

Even the people who work in their respective fields are behind. Would a computer programmer be able to fix something in his car even though it has many computer aspects to it?

WHEN LIFE HANDS YOU: High Fructose Corn Syrup, Citric Acid, Ascorbic Acid, Maltodextrin, Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate, Magnesium Oxide, Calcium Fumarate, Yellow 5, Tocopherol and less than 2% natural flavors...

Now matter how advance the Xbox 360 is. The Atari is still made better.

No I'm not. I had a used Xbox and it lasted for years until I traded it in. And I played it a lot. The last year I had it the only problem I had with it. Was that I had to spin the fan in order for it to start. You would think the 360 being the next Xbox would be better made, but nope it was a piece of -blam!-. Whithing the course of 3 years I went through three 360s because of the Red Ring of Death.

You should know by now that in today's world things are made to break, not last.

I think old school stuff is better anyway, I opened up my Master System the other day, it's interesting.
