In the era of science and technology development, thinner, lighter devices that are increasingly modern and handy are born, invisible general has created a standard for the whole. technology trend. Anyway, let's look at the past and nostalgic about small designs that play a particularly important role in every version of every device. One of the best examples is the connection port.
Connection port? Why on a computer there are so many types of ports? Is it big in some booklets? No, then the laptops still have port numbers close to that. Why? Why nostalgic past inventions overwhelmed the mind when designing? No one knows, but here are some interesting examples in the decades-old history of development:
Gaming Controller
Surely a lot of us remember about a PlayStation or GameCube frenzy, and even accidentally ... stumbled into the handlebar wires anymore. With a solid structure and harmony, this product lets you connect two parts of the game machine to each other (which is gradually replaced by wireless technology). Anyway, the overwhelming experience of touching the wired handle is still more popular than the convenience of a wireless connection.
Parallel port
Disk drives, printers, memory drives, etc. All of these have been associated with parallel connection protocols. This is one of the earliest and most common types. Even one device can allow multiple ports to connect to multiple devices at the same time. For computers, however, they are rarely very important at all.
Card slot (or tape)
The gaming industry is the main factor driving the development of this protocol. However, the trend has now shifted to the form of downloading information, game data on the system, but not the slot game. However, no one can deny the appeal of it in the past, associated with so many memories of childhood.
SCSI portWith a streamlined design that is completely different from the current popular VGA port, serial ports are still available on card payment systems and some of the older devices. This is indeed a perfect replacement for the "elder" is not very modest in size, but the USB version is smaller and more convenient than the face.
Headphone jack
The last member of today's "family" is a design that, despite its long life, still exists and is present today as a symbol that can not be destroyed. That's right, almost no alternative is offered, except that Apple is rushing to perfect the "paired" technology that includes an adapter and a pair of wireless headsets, This technology will be much more effective than traditional wired connections over a jack.
It's not known how bad and overwhelming it is, but we can be sure that every technology will come to its end.
