When Sony unveiled the PlayStation 3 console back in 2005, it was an impressive machine. The much-anticipated device and multimedia hub offered a new experience, allowing users to not only play games, but view photos, browse the Internet, and watch Blu-Ray discs all in glorious 1080p. Seven years later Sony continues to boggle our minds with an impressive console, which, pretty much blows its predecessor out of the water in a couple key areas. After numerous Prototypes Sony finally delivered the PlayStation 4 on November 15, 2013. The much-anticipated console sold out within hours of release, it’s merely impossible to get your hands on one. For me as a minor gamer, I always thought to myself what more can they do to improve graphics, as its already sharp and very life like. Well with the advancement’s on modern technology, Sony was able to increase its graphics exponentially compared to PlayStation 3. PS 4 is using x86 processors are typically used in computers and reinforced with 8GB RAM. With a number of components, PS 4 is said to be able to produce stunning graphics.

However as social media is on the rise, Sony decided to stick with a social-based game consoles, players can share videos play experience using your social media Facebook and Ustream. Moreover PlayStation 4 is also compatible with Android devices, the PS Vita and various other platforms. The most obvious changes are the addition of a front touch panel and a rear Move light that lets the controller function as a proper motion controller, rather than just using a gyroscope. It’s a big heavier than the PS3’s DualShock 3, but equipment designs have been improved due to advancements in science. The issue I had with Sony was it restricted its consoles from backwards compatibility, which means; you would not be able to play your old games from previous consoles. Sony attempted to fix this issue by purchasing a cloud-based gaming service, called Gaikai. This purchase is apparently intended to offer cloud gaming service that will provide a number of game titles found on the PS 3 to be played at PS 4. Quite frankly I myself find the PS4 relatively affordable with pricing starting at $400. Sony learned from its previous mistake of pricing its previous console too high with the PS3 retailing for $599 at launch, and it’s clear that the company doesn’t want to make the same mistake again. I was actually one of those persons who bought the PS3 at such an expense price, I’m very glad Sony lowered its price.

After long and frustrating years Boeing finally delivers an answer to fellow competitor Airbus, whom released the A380 6 years ago. The giant commercial aircraft broke records, as the largest aircraft with an ability to carry 853 passengers. Success of The A380 overshadowed Boeings market for the last 6 years. It’s truly amazing how evolution of modern technology allows such things to exist. Boeing decided to make its mark in the current market by designing for Environmental Performance. Boeing is introducing new technologies to create better environmental performance for commercial jetliners. Key attribute most airliners desire when purchasing an aircraft is its effincey on gas, since gas prices are constantly soaring. Dreamliner delivers more then a handful of an airliners desire. The 787 it’s composed of 70% composite (blend of plastic) is said to reduce 20% of fuel consumption, unlike the A380 that is made from a decent portion of aluminum alloy.

By making the aircraft much lighter it requires less fuel consumption, which results in the reduction of carbon monoxide going into out atmosphere. Dreamliner also has One of the more innovative passenger comfort systems on the 787 is the computer-controlled turbulence-reduction system. Boeing claims the Smoother Ride Technology will provide a reduction in the number of people experiencing motion sickness. Sensors throughout the airplane detect subtle changes in air pressure indicative of turbulence. As Anderson Hamilton chief engineering director stated “All of this technology puts the 787 well ahead of the competition.” Myself being quite familiar with the aviation industry I’m amazed how innovative it’s become.
