My 1st post is going to be on about New Media Technology (NMT)...
There are many different kinds of new technology for e.g phones, t.v's, mp3s etc..
The technology i have seen, changed in many different ways are game consoles. It was in 1972 that Magnavox released the first home video game console, the Magnavox Odyssey, invented by Ralph H. Baer. The Odyssey was initially only moderately successful, and it was not until Atari's arcade game Pong popularized video games.
In 1983 Nintendo was released and they had a hit game in Super Mario Bros. Sega's Master System was intended to compete with the Nintendo, but never gained any significant market share in the US and was barely profitable.

Nowadays the most popular game consoles out there are Nintendo gamecube, PS3, Nintendo Wii and XBOX 360...these are all good but most people would say that the best quality ones are PS3 and XBOX 360 because they have better graphics than the rest. The graph above is about the sales of the game consoles in the first six months of them coming....
