No Code, Part 1 1/2

It is interesting to consider the technological trends of the 1950's. When consumerism became a cultural norm that afforded and implied that a suburban lifestyle, with state-of-the-art household appliances, plastics, and information media such as television, was the given right and standard of every hard working, good god fearing American. Within 1980's, it seems technologies became more tailored to the individuals experience, which implies a state of independence and triumph. Ironically it also seems that many of these digital technologies originated outside the United States, in nations such as Japan, and America in turn was adapting to a world culture.
