TEQ TALK

Technology Well Miss:

1. Gameboy: The revolutionary
Gameboy had every child hooked to his
or her screen, trying to defeat
Pokmon gym masters and attempting
to assemble the blocks in Tetris.
2. Cassettes: Before the existence of
Netflix, Putlocker and DVDs, cassettes
the size of books were used to watch
our favourite movies.
3. Walkman: The Walkman was the
first ever music storage system and
immediately took markets by storm.
Thought to be the pioneer of portable
music, the Walkman paved the way for
future devices like the iPod.
4. Flip Phones: These phones marked
the era when one could stylishly flip
their phones shut after a fight. We
dont however miss those text pads the horror of having to type two letters
on the same button still haunts us.

Technology Were Excited About:

1. 3D Printer: The 3D printer has
made our dreams of making our own
chocolate relatively true and we could
not be more grateful. Were proud to
say we have one of these in our school,
made by our own students.
2. Lexus Hoverboard: This device
makes Subway Surfer look realistic. It
uses gravitational levitation and can be
tricky to balance on, but will still
probably be a huge success.
3. Windows HoloLens: Microsoft
HoloLens is the first fully untethered,
holographic computer, enabling
high-definition holograms to integrate
with your world.
4. Automated Truck: These self
driving trucks have appeared to mixed
responses. However, these trucks may
be used in Nevada ,USA and Australia.
