Abstract:
Technology as we know it is constantly developing and from where we started we can notice the drastic changes that have emerged since we were born. Technology is used in our lives on a daily basis that it is often needed, considering it is so beneficial in a variety of ways. Looking back to the 1980s, it should be seen as the decade where technology began innovating and where telephones became the root of technology advancing as it is today. The 1980s became the time where computers began to be the new “thing” in industries and progressed to be very relevant. If it weren't for the '80s supplying concepts of what the future was to look like, we wouldn't be where we are today.
