1985 News
Casually looking around the web today, I saw "Engadget 1985" . . . a rendition of August 22, 1985 on Engadget's BBS. For those of you who weren't computer savvy in 1985, BBS stands for Bulletin Board System and is one type of communication forum before the Internet showed up. Each BBS stood on its own and you have to connect to each one individually via a modem and dial-up.
Can you believe that the world had digital cameras back in 1985? Engadget 1985 provided a description and a low-quality picture (digital pictures aren't that advanced back then) of Fuji's ES-1. Fuji ES-1 shoots at a whopping (for its date) 640 x 480 pixels, has 2/3-inch sensor, stores onto 3.5-inch micro-floppy disks, and in JPEG standard just released a year before. Back then, the consumer world was still using 5.25" floppies and the micro-floppy disks are considered a luxury.
Boy, has time changed! What would we think 20 years from now about SD Cards, CompactFlashes, and Memory Sticks?
