“Is there any way for me to overcome these skill caps?”, I asked myself while searching up and down the Internet for answers. However, it also left me with so much frustration as all of my friends got higher scores than me. The feeling of slashing and chopping fruits was hard to convey in sentences, but it can be summed up in just one word: overjoyed. I still remembered Fruit Ninja, one of the games that cleverly utilized the “bizarre and magical” touch screen. With just a few simple touches, you can enter an endless world of digital media and, of course, video games. Whether it is TV shows, or Youtube videos, or e-books, all are contained in a device with a size of no bigger than a pocket calculator. It was not the first smartphone ever made, but it was the first one that revolutionized the entire definition of entertainment. However, with the flourish of the Internet, smartphones, or technologies collectively, things have changed in a way that we could not possibly imagine.įor me, it all started with Apple’s iPhone 3GS, my first smartphone ever. If we take a look back at just 20 years ago, when mobile phones were beyond luxurious for most people, we didn’t have that many options left to choose from, besides books and TVs and movies and so on.
As society gets more and more developed, the human need for entertainment solutions keeps growing at the same pace.
