The Time When Computers Were King. The Computer Store-1995.

Описание: it is hard to describe today how exciting these stores were back then. Many of us geeks spent hours playing with the various gadgets. In the sales folks knew what they were talking about is this video shows (or at least they know a lot more than we did).

Aside from computers and video games computer musical instruments there was so much more with new stuff coming in every month.

I recorded this video in Palo Alto, California. Today when I watch it, it seems like ancient history. I got my first computer in 1994. It was a Mac given me by my company. Although I worked with many visionary people in Silicon Valley, almost none predicted the coming of the Internet.

If you are a "digital native" from the younger generations, this seems like ancient history. If you are from the baby boom generation or the Genx generation, these memories are for most of us, fond memories of the early days of our experiences with a computer and what it could do.

What could you find in a computer store in 1995,?
Desktops: You would have seen computers from various manufacturers like IBM, Compaq, Apple, and others. These computers would have come with different specifications and features like the type of processor, memory size, storage capacity, and more.

Laptops: Laptops were becoming increasingly popular in the mid-90s, and you would have seen models from companies like IBM, Compaq, and Toshiba. These laptops would have been heavier and bulkier compared to today's standards.

Monitors: CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) monitors were the most common type of display device available in computer stores. They were heavier and took up more desk space compared to modern monitors.

Printers: Dot matrix and inkjet printers were the most common types of printers you would have found in computer stores. These printers were used for printing text, graphics, and photos.

Peripherals: Mouse, keyboard, floppy disk drives, and CD-ROM drives were the most common peripheral devices available in computer stores. These devices were used to expand the capabilities of a computer.

Software: You would have found a variety of software programs like productivity suites, games, and educational software. These software programs would have been sold in floppy disk or CD-ROM format.

In general, computers and related hardware and software in 1995 were much less advanced and expensive compared to today's standards.

You can see more of my videos taken in stores from that time in the USA and in Japan by searching the word "computer" on my YouTube channel.
