Star Wars: Episode V- The Empire Strikes Back The Apple II, Commodore PET 2001 and the TRS-80 computers are commonly referred to as the “1977 Trinity” of personal computers. The first personal computers are made available to be sold to public consumers. It went on to become the highest grossing film of 1977 and ends up spawning a massive franchise (hence how we got here *wink*). George Lucas creates groundbreaking first Star Wars film that redefined the space-opera as well as the modern blockbuster. So, let’s take a look at what happened “a long time ago in a galaxy far, far way” as well as not so long ago right here on planet Earth! The 9 th Star Wars film (or 11 th if you include spinoffs) and final installment in the “Skywalker Saga”, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker premieres tonight! Given our close-proximity to this cinematic event as well as the year 2020 being just on the horizon, I decided to recap the saga and highlight technological milestones that occurred within each year that a Star Wars film was released. Much like the special journey that has brought us to an event even closer than 2020….the premiere of the new Star Wars movie! That being said there was a special journey, in the world of IT, that has led it to where it is today.
Yet, here it is just a few days away.Īlthough we have seen considerable technological developments in the last 30-40 years, it is not quite the sci-fi landscape we thought it might be by now. When I was a kid, 2020 always sounded like a distant, unreachable year that would consist of flying cars and the people of earth living on settlements on distant planets. And, almost the year 2020! 2020…doesn’t that sound insane?! Local and State Government IT Solutions.
