, Introduction
As a junior developer with a software company which creates a multitude of technology particularly
gaming, I've been assigned the task of writing a report for the corporation's webpage which explains and
evaluates the influence which existing and evolving innovations provide upon the production as well as
fabrication of videogames currently but also in the long term. For start with, video games lacked an user
interface since the machines they were operating on lacked graphics cards or resources assigned
storage, limiting them to merely handling and displaying quick arithmetic. Just around the late 1960s did
gaming begin to get a graphical user interface (GUI) with simple low-res 8-bit graphics like the one seen
here called spacewar.
As discrete graphics cards improved, video games' visuals improved as well, although they started to
deliver colors in which is commonly recognized as vector illustrations, as shown in a snapshot from the
1982 game froggers.
