Week #5 Post

 





There was startup called WebTV back in 1996.  I graduated from high school in 1995 and thought this was going to be the best thing ever. 

 

This was a simple gadget that had a console and a keyboard.  They had the right idea but it was just a little before its time.  This item was supposed to be a hit with email for the older generation that did not like or know how to use a computer.  The mobile revolution was just starting and I believe that is why this startup failed.  I remember it all started with pagers then moved to mobile phones that only made and received phone calls. Just a few years later the home computer had taken over the market for email.
