Collaborative Project - 23/09/19

This week we have been researching about how mobile phones has influenced society.

I have been tasked to find the advantages and disadvantages of the modern day smartphone while matt is working on the history.

One of the major advantages of using a mobile phone is the ability to connect to with social media and communicate with anyone anywhere. The use of fingerprint sensors and face recognition has also made it much easier to access phones since you wont need to keep inputting the pin or password in every time you turn it on. Another advantage is that you can play games where ever you are and with the rise of game streaming it will take it even further to the point where you can stream any game from any platform from anywhere like PS now.

According to Engadget,  the very first arcade machine ran a game called "Computer Space" which was made in 1981 by Nolan Bushnell and Ted Dabney (who went on and founded Atari). Computer space was a 2 player Asteroids-like game. The arcade machine featured 2 joysticks for both players and was coin operated. In terms of hardware, It ran purely from logic gates on a physical board!

All the information I have found on the very first arcade machine was from Engadget

In terms of Trello, we have organised it with a beginning, middle and a end as well as a in progress for the ones we're currently researching on.

This year I have been tasked to create a research project with a group. The research will be based around game streaming versus just running the games.

Today we have setup a project on a website called Trello, which is a tool that lets us collaborate with people. I were going to use GitHub but that is based around issues and problem solving and not research.

Trello is an industry standard tool that companies use to track their progress a few examples of this are: Epic Games and Subnautica.
