The History of Video Games

The history of video games has its origins in the 1940's when, after the end of World War II,

the victorious powers supercomputers built the first programmable as the ENIAC,

1946. The first attempts to implement programs playful (initially chess programs) soon appeared,

and were repeated during the following decades. The first modern games appeared in the 60's, and since then the world of video games has continued to grow and develop with the only limit imposed upon the creativity of the developers and the evolution of technology.

In recent years, we are witnessing an era of technological progress dominated by an industry that promotes a model of consumption where the new super fast becoming obsolete in a few months, but where both a group of people and institutions aware of the role- pioneer programs, companies that defined the market and had the great visionaries in the development of the industry, have initiated the formal study of the history of video games.

Video games are all interactive electronic game, regardless of their support either internal CD-ROM,

cartridge, CD, online gaming and technology platform such as a computer or a console. In 1971 he developed the first game, called Computer Space, but the gameplay

was very confused and was a commercial failure. PONG appeared in

1972, developed by Atari. Their content was very simple: a game of tennis as rudimentary.

In 1977, Atari released the first video game system cartridge, which had great success in America. This led to concern about possible negative effects of video games on children, such as violence,

aggression. After a quick process, together with the evolution of the memories and microporocesadores.

Also with the technological advances have changed the quality and reality of video games on different consoles. it is expected that all areas of evolution of video games continue to grow with the technology even though it is a great financial engine in the world.

In 1971 he created the first program to send email. It was Ray Tomlinson, a program combininginternal email and file transfer program.

Also that year a group of researchers from MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) presented the first proposal of the "Protocol for transmitting files over the Internet" (RFC 114). The 70's pass by connecting directly with institutions or other networks connecting to the ARPANET and the responsible development of standards and protocols such as Telnet, specification or file transfer protocol

voice networks (NVP, Network Voice Protocol). In 1979 ARPA created the first commission to control the Internet settings, and after several years of work, finally ending in 1981 to define the TCP / IP (Transfer Control iProtocol / Internet Protocol) and adopted it as ARPANET standard in 1982, replacing the NCP.Internet is short for Interconnected Networks, ie network of networks, or also known as Networks International, or International Network. Also in those years are based Microsoft (1975) and Apple (1976). In 1983 ARPANET was separated from the military network thatoriginated, so that no military purposes and may be considered this date as the birth of the Internet. In that year he leaves the first version of Microsoft Windows.

In 1985, fifteen years after the first proposal, ending the development of even existing protocol for the Internet file transfer (FTP, File Transfer Protocol), based on the philosophy of client-server. From 1987 began the great expansion, partly due to last year created the NSFNET, which established five supercomputer centers to provide high processing power.It is now when incorporated in various Internet networks in Europe. Also in that year found the first computer application hypertext.

In the United States the large increase in users in 1990 caused the withdrawal of the ARPA agency, and its network happened to be in charge of the NSF.

These were years of uncertainty because no one had devised the network for the purposes and dimensions that were reached, and those responsible were overwhelmed. During those years strengthened backbone networks and devised the WWW (World Wide Web - World Wide Web) at CERN by Tim Berners-Lee, its inventor, who created the foundations of the HTTP transmission protocol, the language of HTML documents and the concept of the URL.

The Cold War Ruled the World, the United States Should Be Informed about themovements of the Soviet Union, ran the 60's and Telecom WAS Beginning to Develop.Utmost Importance Of

Knowledge That Was the moving parts Would the Kremlin,American spies Were Scattered Throughout the World and the Need to create anetwork Decentralized necesidad.En Became to the U.S. 1965 DARPA (defenseadvanced Research Projects Agency - Defense Research Projects Agency) Promotesa study on "cooperative network of time-sharing computers. In 1969, DARPA, with therand Corporation company Developed Without a central network nodes based onpacket switching. The information is Divided Into Each packet contains packets and theaddress of origin, destination, sequence number and Some information.

Packets toreach the destination is sorted by sequence number and got together to Give Rise toinformation. When traveling-through the network, more Difficult to lose WAS data, if aparticular package Because Did not Reach the destination or arrive defective, thecomputer Should Receive the information just HAD to ask the computer sending thepackage WAS missing. The communications protocol Called NCP (Network Control Protocol).

This network united in Principle only a small number of computers and darpanetcalled, But in 1972 it changed name to stis ARPANET, when connected to forty nodes.

The technology in the world

The Technology in the World.

We live in a world where technology dictates the pace of progress and patterns of life, in other

words, we live in a world shaped by technology. In our daily life is pervasive technology.
The idea of ​​progress, as we understand today, is closely associated with the idea of ​​technology, and therefore the idea of ​​science and technology. These three key words, science, technology and technology related to specific activities of man are inextricably linked to the world we live in a more artificial than natural, a world created by man in his desire to master the forces of change nature.
Technology is the other independent variable strongly influences the organizational characteristics (dependent variables). Besides the environmental impact, there is the impact of technology on organizations. All organizations use some form of technology to run their operations and perform their tasks.

The technology adopted may be rough and rudimentary (such as grooming and cleaning through the brush or broom) can also be sophisticated (such as data processing by computer.)
All organizations rely on a technology or an array of technologies to operate and achieve their goals from a purely administrative point of view, technology is seen as something that develops predominantly in organizations in general and in companies in particular through the accumulated knowledge and developed on the meaning and implementation of tasks (Know How) and its consequent physical manifestations (machines, equipment, facilities) that constitute a vast complex of techniques used in transforming inputs received by Company results, ie products or services.

Technology may or may not be incorporated into physical assets or capital goods, basic materials, intermediate raw materials or components, etc. In that sense, technology for the concept of hardware.

The technology is not built on people (such as technicians, experts, specialists, engineers, etc..) Low forms of intellectual knowledge or operational manual or mental facility to carry out operations or documents that recorded and observed to to ensure its preservation and transmission (such as maps, plans, designs, projects, etc.).
