Believe it or not, I have a friend who had never seen the original Star Wars trilogy. So this Christmas I bought all three of them for him and we watched them last Wednesday night. It reminded me how awesome the original movies really where, and why movies should be shot on location with minimal special effects.
But it also reminded me how amazing the special effects where for back then. I couldn't help but feel like all you could do back then was make word documents on the Apple II. This made me very curious, so I did a little research and made a little list of some of the greatest technological advancements (in my opinion) from 1970 to 1990.
So to put things in perspective, I compiled this:
(The whole thing about the 800 number isn't great, but I found it interesting.)
I'm sure this kind of thing has been made before, but I'm too lazy to find one I found interesting, so I made my own.
