Computers

Although computers have come a long way since the beginning of the digital age, I can’t help but feel that something has been lost of the artistry that once dominated the field. Nowhere is this lost more apparent than in computer game design. At the very beginning of the digital age, computer game designers were programmers. Computer game design was not a profession at that point, but a hobby. The technology was pretty primitive by today’s standards, but it was a very fresh and new to the people who are working with it. The graphics were simple, so computer game designs had to be based around elegant programming and interesting and playable concepts for gaming. Things sure have changed since those days.
