Old Mobile Phones

Mobile phones have become essential devices for everyone today, but do you remember the times when only a select few were able to afford their own cell phones?

The world of gaming has always been the perfect escape for children of all ages. As a little kid, I remember day dreaming that I was Mario, able to jump and get stars to overcome whatever came my way. I’m a little older now, and Super Mario has turned into games such as God of War, Split Second, and Amalur (when time permits).

Kids today would probably only think of the PlayStation 3, the Xbox 360, and the Nintendo Wii when the subject of gaming consoles come up.

Windows 8 might very well be the most hyped Windows operating system of our time. Whether or not it lives up to the hype remains to be seen, according to some.
