Joystick Legend On Red - Atari Sheer T-shirt |
|
This is an officially licensed Atari product.This t-shirt features an Atari joystick and says "Atari Joystick Legend" |
We all know by now that the Nintendo Wii is being used all over the world with great success. But how does it work though?
Instead of the joystick and buttons that have been a staple of video game play since the days of Atari, the Nintendo Wii uses infrared technology to communicate with a wireless remote control, and it is the remote control of this console that separates it from the pack.
This console device uses a wireless, motion-sensitive controller that allows players to use their motions to control and play the game using a totally new controlling concept - no buttons, no cursors - the machine simply tracks the movements in space. This of course is unlike typical gaming systems. With this wand like feature, it simply requires the players to physically perform the action they want to see on-screen. The Dancing With The Stars game for example, uses the device's controllers to physically mimic elegant dance moves while at the same time allowing the player to add his or her own personal flair.
The architecture inside the Nintendo Wii uses technology very similar to your laptop and wireless router. It uses MEMS technology for motion detection and uses SD card technology to help players transfer saved games, photos and other data to a secondary storage unit. There is also in use a variety of peripheral capabilities and different ports for connection while the Nintendo Wii uses Wi-Fi to talk to a wireless access point for Internet access. Though this console uses a DVD drive, it will not work for playback of movies, just Nintendo games as this, of course is the intention.
So that is pretty much how the Nintendo Wii works in a nutshell and if you ain't got one yet, you don't know what you're missing.
John Milligan.

Computer History And Methodology By Mensur Boydas
- HISTORY OF WHAT (Fraunfelder)
Five concepts in Fraunfelder:
PONG
In today's world video games are an essential part of millions' life and it has a bigger market than films. Bushnell who is an electrical engineer student had several attempts to create games but they were not successful. Then he made a game called "Pong that that is a ping-pong simulator that required nothing more of the player than to twiddle a knob to move an onscreen paddle and hit a ball (Fraudliner, Mark, 2006). The game Pong was the world's first video game in the early 70's. This is a modern version of the game. The first screen is where you select how you want to play by moving the joystick: UP and DOWN to select Human vs. Human, Human vs. Computer or Computer vs. Computer. The computer vs. computer game to plays forever or until someone reset the game using the reset switch. You start serving by pressing fire; it is also likely to change direction and speed of the ball using fire. The player who has the serve will get points. If the player with the serve misses the ball, then the serve goes over to the other player. The paddles are moved up and down with the joysticks. It is possible to smash (increase speed) by pressing FIRE, and when doing so it is also possible to guide the ball by moving joystick up or down. When someone wins a game over picture will show and tell who won. Bushnell started a business called Atari and started selling Pong to arcades and bars. He had more luck this time and people love the game. Then in 1974 Atari made a home version of Atari but did not have the money to keep up with their competitors, afterwards Warner Communications bought the company. It is this game that triggered the video games history and personal computers that people wanted to play the game in their computers at home.
Figure 2: Pong in a different set up
NINTENDO GAMEBOY
Nintendo Game Boy is a system of a compact game developed and manufactured by Gumpei Yokoi who works for the company and it is released in 1989. "It is the bestselling video game player ever and 168 million units have been sold since it was introduced (Fraudliner, Mark, 2006). This was another hit in the history of computing and video game industry. People were buying it to play a game called Tetris that is written by Russian Alexey Pazhitnov. Computers were invented in the early 70's and by the invention of video games computers became more popular because people wanted to play the games at their home without any distraction like workspace. The Nintendo Game Boy had a lot of contribution to the history of video games as it pushed its competitors to invent a more advanced, cooler console, video games and etc. to attract the peoples' attention to keep themselves in the business. Then in the following years Nintendo advanced its gaming consoles.
WORLD WIDE WEB
The World Wide Web has transformed the computer and communications world like nothing else before. The invention of the telegraph, telephone, radio, and computer set the stage for this unique combination of qualifications. The Internet is at once a world-wide broadcasting capability, a mechanism for information broadcasting, and a medium for cooperation and interface between individuals and their computers without consideration of geographic distance.
These people are the ones who contributed in the development of World Wide Web.

As you can see it was a quite history to be able to come up with the extraordinary invention of all time that is a part of millions of people around the world. With the invention of the internet users of the computer tremendously increased as it is convenient in a lot of ways and are increasing still. It became the main part of computer, now a computer without the internet is just a machine that computes and functions as a gaming console and a type-writer. It is quite interesting to watch as the history unleashes its chambers to present. All of the parts developing and combining, emerging to create the computer as it happens in Transformers.
The search engine started as a research project by a Phd student student at Stanford in January 1996. " Today more than 100 million people ask Google, the number one search engine on the world" (Fraudliner, Mark, 2006). Google became the reference of the world to anything from a to z from billions of Web pages in just a matter of seconds. Despite the fact that it's free, it made a fortune for its founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin. "The company makes money by advertising and by licensing its search technology to corporations" (Fraudliner, Mark, 2006). The Google search engine attracted the growing number of Internet users, who liked its simple design. Google has begun selling ads related with keyword searhes. The advertisements were text-based to maintain an uncluttered page design and to maximize page loading speed. Google has a lot of features and some of them are earth, video, scholars, groups, g-mail, image search and many more. Google is really the main search engine that assists millions of people around the world every day. It is really interesting to exposure the discourse develops as the picture of technology painted part by part. All of these are a part of computer that is enabling games, videos, connectivity and many other things for the society of earth. Google will become more important as the World Wide Web gets developed. The history showed that the future will be bright as technology develops.
- WHO AND WHERE: ACADEMIA (Markoff)
Doug Engelbert:
He is generally known as the inventor of computer mouse teamed with Bill English. His group and he accomplished many technological establishments and some of them are hypertext, human computer interaction, networked computers and precursors to GUIs.
The figure shows that the very first computer mouse engineered by Engelbert showing the wheels that directly contacts the working surface. According to the historian of Science Therry Bardini believed that Engelbart's complex personal philosophy that drove all his research endeavors shoved the modern application of the concept to the philosophy and use of tech. The historian also says that Engelbart was strongly influenced by the principle of linguistic relativity developed by Benjamin Lee Whorf. "Where Whorf reasoned that the sophistication of a language controls the sophistication of the thoughts that can be expressed by a speaker of that language, Engelbart reasoned that the state of our current technology controls our ability to manipulate information, and that fact in turn will control our ability to develop new, improved technologies" (Wikipedia). He was an uncontrollable and different from his group of people. He was dealing with SRI projects. Markoff says that Engelbart and Rosen who is another engineer in the group had met when Engelbart was hired at SRI, and of course he had immediately told Rosen about his dream for building Bush's Menex information search and retrieval machine. Rosen was impressed, but he had not thought much about it since. Thereafter the researches took a high road and one day Engelbart wrote some thoughts on a paper and Rosen took it to Pentagon and the man from Pentagon wanted to see him. He was granted the first research by $25,000. Then he made much advancement in the digital technology such as the computer mouse. He visualized and developed many of his user interface ideas back in the mid 60s, long before the personal computer revolution, at a time when people were kept away from computers, and could only use computers through UN armed forces and when software tended to be written for vertical applications in proprietary systems.
Engelbart later revealed that it was nicknamed the "mouse" because the tail came out the end. In an interview with SRI patented the mouse then for the value of $40,000 Apple had licensed the product.
Engelbart is a great contributor in technology of computer and digital world. Markoff says that when was still largely about data processing; Engelbart had put together almost all of the critical components of modern personal computing; hypertext, graphics, multiple windows, efficient navigation and command input, collaborative work, and a mouse pointing device. The list here was collaborated nearly 40 years ago, symbolizes the computer we are using right now. This is pretty interesting journey.
John Mc Carthy:
He is now a Professor Emeritus. John McCarthy's influence in computer science ranges from the invention of LISP and time-sharing to the coining of the term AI and the founding of the AI laboratory at Stanford University. One of the foremost figures in computer sciences, McCarthy has written papers which are widely referenced and stand as milestones of development over a wide range of topics. In this collection of reviews, McCarthy staunchly defends the importance of Artificial Intelligence research against its attackers; this book gathers McCarthy's reviews of books which discuss and criticize the future of AI. Here, McCarthy explores the larger questions associated with AI, such as the question of the nature of intelligence, of the acquisition and application of knowledge, and the question of the politics behind this research. He is the founder of AI which led to many achievements in the significant technological advancements.
- WHO AND WHERE: THE COUNTERCULTURE (Turner)
Stewart brand:
The Catalog hunted to "catalyze the emergence of a realm of personal power" by making soft technology available to people eager to create sustainable communities. Brand went on to found a number of do-good organizations, including the WELL or Whole Earth Electronic Link (an early online community); the Global Business Network (a futurist consulting firm); and the Long Now Foundation (dedicated to encouraging long-term thinking). He is the author of several books and many articles, ranging in focus from the psychedelic rituals of Native Americans to a systems analysis of "buildings in time." Today, he and his wife live on a tugboat in Sausalito, CA. Turner notes that for Ehrlich and Holm, and the young Stewart Brand, cultural activities such as politics, art, conversation, and play took on a deep significance for the survival of the species. When humans threatened to destroy themselves with Nuclear weapons, concrete expressions of culture offered a way to help them to move forward and escape total destruction. They played a big role in keeping the world as a safe place and I call them peace keepers. Turner also notes that his search for individual liberty guided to a decade- long migration among a wide variety of bohemian, scientific and academic communities.
"When his Whole Earth Catalog became a forum in which such communities met, Brand began to see how the systems orientation of Paul Ehrlich's population biology, combined with new, countercultural models of living, might offer an appealing individualistic lifestyle, not only for him, but also for anyone else who could abandon the halls of bureaucratic America. Stewart Brand is here with Army-length hair in 1961.

The central theme of the book is that several fields of contemporary science and philosophy point in the same direction: intelligence is not organized in a centralized structure but much more like a bee-hive of small simple components. Kelly applies this view to bureaucratic organizations, intelligent computers, and to the human brain."Kevin outlines eight "generative": authenticity, accessibility, immediacy, interpretation, personalization, patronage, embodiment, findability. (I've reordered them as I find "aaiippef" makes it a bit easier to remember them all.) He defines a "generative" as "a quality or attribute that must be generated, grown, cultivated, and nurtured. It cannot be copied, cloned, faked, replicated, counterfeited, or reproduced" (George, 2005). This list is an excellent starting point for economic models in the digital world. These eight things cannot be copied. These are the things that people will be willing to pay for. These are the things that can be made to be more valuable through leveraging the abundance of imitable goods. Kevin notes that "more importantly, I think, the types of economic models derived from this thinking allow us to take advantage of the abundance of digital information rather than fearing it. This sort of thinking allows us to view digital technology as a blessing rather than a curse". Nowadays, he is Chairman of the Board of a non-profit organization aimed at cataloging and identifying every living species on earth. His contribution to technology called the third culture. Back then the advancements in the Science was disregarded, but the culture was knows as music, literature and etc. Even though the developments help to strengthen the culture it was regarded and was not cool at all. Then the third culture appeared. Kevin's new third culture is a brood of science. It's a pop culture based in technology, for the good of technology. In the last two decades, as technology hyper flooded our cultural environment, the gravity of technology simply became too hard to disregard. For this current generation of Nintendo kids, their technology is their culture. When they reached the point of creating the current trends, the next witty thing happened Scientists became cool.
About the Author
anyone make a joystick?
does any one know if theres a company that makes a joystick for tha pc, that doesnt have all the fancy stuff on it. i need it to play games with. like they old atari controller.
Yes. Look for "Competition Pro USB".
This is a Joystick, that comes from the old Commodore C64.
Has by far the best control and usability, and is connectable to the PC via USB.
Sir Clive Sinclair: 'I don't use a computer'
The entrepreneur and innovator tells Simon Garfield about inspiration, determination and why he doesn't do email… Thirty years ago this month, Clive Sinclair launched a computer that he hoped would change the world. In the majority of cases it only changed the way people played primitive computer games, but it also turned a bespectacled, prematurely balding man into a hero for our times. In ...
