New and improved technology
There are many new and emerging technologies happening throughout the years and this involves upgraded printers and computers, new and improved games consoles and also 3d TV’s etc.
Effects on graphics
Over the years since the early 1900's graphics have started to evolve along side the evolving of technology. Graphics have has a major effect on technology, without the creation of graphics we would still be using radios for entertainment in the 21st century. Graphics have a great part in history in that they've needed graphics to put life into a television create the first ever GUI for a computer system. But graphics have evolved a lot since then and not a lot of people realise this. Graphics have went from blurry and fuzzy black and white images on a computer screen to fuzzy coloured images on a television screen involved in playing video games, but they have been able to develop graphics further. Graphics have had a great effect on printers over the years. they started printing pictures out with pixiles missing and difficult to see, but with the technology we have in the 21st century they have greatly improved the graphics on the images people print in that they are clearer than the images on the computer no matter how well they have them adjusted.

For example Printers, over the years the common printer was designed mainly for printing things out from your home computer, it was a simple attachment, you plugged it into your computer using a USB cord and that was it. The printer is upgrading more and more over the years in that a lot has changed with it. When printers came out all they done was print one page at a time in black and white but now they have photocopiers and scanners built in to them and they also have games saved in that you are able to print out with a press of a button like Sudoku or maze. Even the more modern printers are able to connect wirelessly to a computer or laptop so if you are in another room from the printer you don’t have to go to it just to print something out you can print from were you are and pick it up later. Also the printer name has changed along with the picture that is printed out, the name went from ink jet to laser jet. The laser jet printers have more advanced colouring and when a picture is printed it, the graphic of it is sharper.
Games consoles: Games consoles have improved dramatically from the all time kid’s favourites like the Nintendo 64, Sega mega drive, and also the play station 1. When consoles like these first came out they had games coming out with little men that looked like someone had drawn them i.e. stick people. A lot of the graphics in most games for the Nintendo 64 and play station 1 etc tended to be blurry and pixilated and also had controllers that were connected to the console itself. Over the years these consoles have been improving for example the Sega mega drive is now the multi Sega mega drive and now has improved graphics in that they are not blurry anymore you can now see sonic running up the hill. Also the play station has been upgraded through the years to the play station 2, although the controllers are still connected with a cord the graphics have increased and are not so much pixilated the colour is still a bit low but it’s playable, however they have now come out with a play station 3 these are a lot better in that they have increased the graphical image of the games dramatically through high definition and also the colour is sharpened and brighter and also has wireless controllers and it able to connect to the internet. With the consoles the graphics have improved dramatically from when they first came out, the graphics in consoles being shown on a television or what most people called them in those days squared boxes tended to be at times blurry and fuzzy and difficult to see, in some cases it was because of the lack of signal etc throught the scart leads or any leads used to connect consoles to T.V's. Over the years these graphics have improved a lot, the picture has became less blurry and fuzzy and they have developed the picture to be sharper but by the time this was developed they brought out HD this was known as High Definition which improved the gaming dramatically the picture to a lot of people was life like, it was no longer fuzzy, it was far more sharper and to most while playing action or racing games it felt like they were inside the game playing it. Developers have also found a way to make the games 3D so that you don't have to make it seem like your are in the game its already done for you.
3D TV’s with free view: When televisions were first invented they were a big box with a small antenna and black and white images but throughout the years they have improved so much in that they invented colour. They have made the TV’s slimmer and different sizes, and the picture has increased and is not so much fuzzy its sharper, but it doesn’t stop at that though the television set/T.V has developed so much over the years that they now have televisions with high definition graphics also known as HD, they also now have plasma/flat screen T.V’s with built in DVD players and also free view as well. As the years progressed they developed new things, it started out that they had 3D movies in the cinema and to watch them you needed special 3D glasses but it developed further than that, they created 3D T.V’s again you need the glasses to watch them, but they thought that they would bring the 3D from the big screen to the small screen to be able to enjoy 3D T.V programs and movies at home with the family. Over the years the graphics in television have changed dramstically, whithin a short period of time the graphics have went from two dimensional images to three dimensional, this has improved the colour, the quality of the picture, it has made the picture sharper and less fuzzy etc.
Computers: When computers first came out, they were used mainly for programming things nothing else they weren’t even a product that people could buy, but that all changed over oncoming year’s, computers were developing gradually throughout the 1900’s they changed dramatically, they started to develop processors and RAM and loads of different components that a computer needed to be able to do various things. It was not until 1979 when the first processor was invented but by then everyone wanted a computer. In 1981 Microsoft created the first operating system for a computer and in 1983 Apple created the very first GUI (graphical user interface)but it wasn’t until 1984 that Apple created the first affordable home computer with a built in GUI and by 1985 the friendly was between Microsoft and Apple began. Computers started to improve more and more after the start of the war, by this I mean computer started to become more faster and have better graphics and also a lot more memory. Computers even had digital games programmed in so that your kids are able to play them. But the 21st century was big change for everyone including computers more and more people were buying them, they started to develop faster processors and also improved applications like Microsoft windows 2003, that was the early years of the computer in the 21st century they now have computers with thinner screens and higher resolution and brighter colour. Also they have USB ports and a CD/DVD drives so you can watch movies on your computer and also improved graphics cards so you can play games that have 3D people in it and not 2D and they have also developed Microsoft Office 2007/2010. The gaphics in computers have went from black and white and slightly fuzzy to colour, high definition, sharper picture etc and this has happened within the last 20 years. With the new graphics in computers it increases the picture quality when people upload them from their cameras or mobile phones, or download them from the internet. The colour is improved, the picture is sharper and it shows so much detail in the picture that most of the time wouldn't been seen when printed out.
