Foudning of Valve
Valve is one of the most progressive game developers out there. They are an indie developer that has re-invented the way we buy games witht the steam store. They have also revolutionized what it is to be a game with their half life series that is at the top of most best game ever lists as well as the "Portal" series that reinvented what a puzzle game can be. I love valve. -
Playstation 2 launch
The Playstation 2 was my first gaming system and is is the greatest home console ever to be released, bar none. -
Napster goes offline
A federal Judge ruled that Napster, the music file sharing site, must stay offline until they can stop the copyright infringment that is rampant on the site. I remember my dad used to use napster all the time and he was not happy when they went offline. I didn't really get what it was despite it being explained to me like ten times. -
Founding of "The Facebook"
In the long line of internet based social media, The Facebook has been the longest lasting. With its easy to use interface and family friendly enviroment it destroyed competetor myspace and has dominated the socail media landscape ever since. I have a facebook and though i absolutely hate the way my information is being sold to companies by Mark Zukerburg I am far too addicted to the site to stop. -
Tumblr launches
Tumblr is sort of like Facebook but with an emphasis on artists and photographers. I have sank hours of my life into the dark abyss that is tumblr. -
Google becomes the most valuable brand
Google surpasses Microsoft as the most valuable brand in existence. I have always liked google both as a corporation and the products it makes. It is sort of the perfect mixture between the utalitarianism of Microsoft and the creativity of Apple. -
first Iphone Launch
The Iphone was the first real smart phone that had a touch screen intuative interface. The iphone set the bar for any and all smart electronics that would come after it. -
Band Camp goes live
Bandcamp is a website that is built to help independent music artists sell digital copies of there music to people all over the world. I listen to a lost of indie bands so having a place where I can go and buy music. It is easy to use and I like being able to support bands directly without having to go through Itunes. -
Steam Store Launch Date
Steam is the best online game market around. It gives gamers access to AAA and indie titles for a fair price and it rocks. I buy most of my games from steam and I also love valve the corporation that runs Steam, Valve -
Google Glass is announced
We have all wanted to be cyborgs right? Okay maybe I am the only one that wants to a cyborg but I think it would be awesome. The google glass allows you to use all of the other things I have talked about in the timeline with your eyes. That would be so awesome. I also have a great idea for an app for the google glass. It records the faces of people you meet and remembers the face and name so the next time you see them a little bubble pops up that says the persons name, it would be so great. -
