The toy industry depended on three main factors for growth: the economy, demographics, and new product innovations on a regular basis. The average life for new products in the toy industry was only one or two Christmas seasons. Companies had two choices to maintain their sales strengths. Either they came up with regular product innovations or they relied on strong standby toys. HiTop had changed its marketing strategy during the past two years.

The Pentium chip which is the most common 1993 chip from Intel contained 3,100,000 transistors. The technology behind transistors over the years has changed, they are made smaller so that microprocessors could be fitted with more, which gives faster processors. The co-founder of Intel, Gordon E. Moore in 1965 described how the amount of transistors for integrated circuits which had doubled every year, Moore predicted that for at least the next ten years the trend would continue. Now more than forty five years later this prediction is still somewhat correct. Moore stated that this could continue another decade or two, but would eventually reach its limits at atomic levels of miniaturization.

The Nineteenth Century saw the United States become a world industrial power. This construct required the used of raw materials both local and aboard. It also promoted trade with various countries to ensure new markets for domestic products. This trade made the United States an active member in world affairs.

Shirky starts by revealing the case about how our new technology has enabled amateurs to make a large number of average grade information and products, lowering our levels of what is considered acceptable. Shirky then provides horrid predictions of the future caused by the collapse of culture. He adds that these fears are actually true and have been around for a long period of time, proving this claim through historical references of the Guttenberg’s press and the Protestant reformation. Shirky shifts to focus on the importance of the innovations that occur after: the new norms are increasingly made the “intellectual output” of society. In the article Shirky establishes the point that we are now going through a similar growth in our publishing capability as we had in our past.
The 1920s in the United States was a decade of roaring new scientific and technological advances. It was a time where ideas and inventions that scientists had spent years in developing had finally reached their final stage and into people’s lives for the first time. Scientists use to consider the world to be stagnant, but then came the Big Bang Theory that changed their views and described the world as ever-changing and increasingly expanding in nature (Baughman et al., 2001). It was a time where movies changed drastically, radios became a big role in communication, and transportation changed significantly. Although everything changed quite drastically and opened the air for more advances, transportation made a huge impact in the 1920s.
In today’s society it is almost impossible to escape the different technological advances we are faced with day to day. Throughout the last decade technology has gone through a lot of progression. We went from books and broadcasts such as newspapers, magazines, radio broadcasting and CDs; to the different kinds of smart phones, tablets, computers, and televisions that we have easy access to. Technology has changed the ways in which we are able to communicate amongst each other, gain access to information, goods and services. In Craig Watkins, Fast Entertainment and Multitasking in an Always-On World, he likes to call this “fast-entertainment- this ever-widening menu of media content that we can consume easily and on the go” (142).
