bigger stars than it had boasted in years. Andrew Lloyd Webber musical “Cats” in 1982 set a

Theatergoers, who paid about ten dollars for a seat in the mid 1970s, now spent between twenty-five and forty-five dollars a ticket for a show by 1983.

Theater productions started becoming greater, more popular, and more expensive as the time passed

Inventions of the 1980’sNick Krall

Nintendo Founded by Fusajiro Yamauchi in 1889 as a card game In 1980 the handheld “game and watch” series was released Each game was a separate console, showed worldwide success In 1985 the NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) was released

in the US The biggest revolution in gaming era, used the cartridge game

system and sold 61.91 million consoles The beginning of the biggest game series that are still popular

today ( donkey kong, super mario, excite bike, duck hunt, bomberman, castlevania, zelda, megaman)

1989, the handheld Gameboy was released with the same cartridge system, sold 118.69 million worldwide

Influence to the 1980’sKids were able to have a new form of entertainment and

could use it as an escape from the outside worldNot only did this just forward gaming technology, it also

was applied to greater technology findings, such as the computer, CD ROM, etc.

Promised greater entertainment in the near future, showed how fast the US technology was progressing

Human Genome Project Goal was to determine the nucleotide base sequence of the

human genome and map/locate 20,000+ genes on the human chromosome

Most of the huge findings happened later, the 80’s served as the main formation through the Department of Energy (founded by ????)

James Watson founded one of the precursor projects (founded the structure of DNA with James Crick)

Did not find any huge discoveries in the 80’s but left America with hope for cures for genetic disorders, and other uses such as cloning and gene selection

Internet 1982, Internet Protocol Suite (IPS) was standardized and fully

interconnected, this meant there was an actual “location” where computers could connect to

This brought about the TCP/IP which was the first server where many computers could be connected at once, this what was termed as the “internet”

It was expanded to a supercomputer in 1986 which greatly increased link speed and functionality

ISP (Internet Service Providers) were added in the late 80’s but was heavily restricted access by ARPANET and NSFNET, these two were decommissioned in the 90’s which is when the internet gained a commercial influx of people

Again, the internet was just beginning so it was just a glimpse of what was to come in the near future

The general public was amazed by what could be done with the technology that was being developed by the end of the 80’s

Columbia Spacecraft First space worthy shuttle in NASA’s fleet March 19, 1981 Columbia was scheduled to launch when three

workers were killed during the pre launch due to Nitrogen Gas poisoning

STS-1 the first launch mission was April 12th 1981 and returned April 14th

Two man mission, John Young, Robert Crippen Columbia saw a total of 28 missions, was briefly stopped after

the Challenger explosion The mission were stopped after the Columbia exploded coming

back to earth on February 1, 2003 where 7 astronauts were killed

Overall the Columbia Missions gave high hopes of greater space exploration through the late 80’s and 90’s

More manned space crafts were launched because of the success of the mission early on

Space was just beginning to become a place of new exploration and hope for the future

CD ROM Pre pressed compact discs that contained data accessible to

computers (written in binary code) Sony and Phillips in 1985 created the “yellow book” which

showed the format and code for CD ROMs and how the binary code was used to write the disc’s information

Finally a compact/easy to access way to store information was available to the public and it was just the beginning, DVD ‘s, Memory chips Etc.

Contact Lenses Throughout the 80’s, many oxygen-permeable lenses were

developed to replace the irritating non permeable ones British Optometrist Rishi Agarwal a soft gel disposable

contact lens 1980s - Developed with soft gel (hydrogel) that degraded

after about a days uses Increased permeability meant less durability which turned

into the disposable lens we see today More people could see without the hassle of using

prescription glasses

Windows OS November 20, 1985 – Windows 1.0 was released as an add on to

the MS-DOS platform OS It quickly overtook the Mac OS because of its focus on Graphical

User Interfaces or GUIs Windows 2.0 was released in 1987 with improvements in user

interface and memory usage/ more keyboard shortcuts were added Both ran on top of MS-DOS which added the use of multiple

applications at on time (multitasking) Some of the basic apps included, calculator ,calendar, cardfire,

clipboard viewer, clock, control panel, notepad paint, reversi, terminal, and write (word)

Huge improvements to the home computer left people wondering where the possibilities could lead to

Being able to do so many different things on such a basic looking object left the general population astounded

Led to the connection to the internet which had the possibility of connecting the whole world at one point (at the time supercomputer)

History of the 1980’s

Fall of the Soviet Union The immediate cause of the Soviet collapse was economic Communist leaders of Warsaw Pact were losing power Soviet policy of glasnost was enforced

Glasnost-permitting open discussion of political and social issues within the Soviet Union

Challenger Explosion To cut the cost of building rockets, NASA created the space

shuttle, the world’s first reusable spacecraft The shuttle had 7 crew members aboard who all tragically

died from the explosion One member included Christa McAuliffe, the 1st teacher to go to

participate”-Sharon Christa McAuliffe

Challenger Explosion

The Challenger exploded on January 28, 1986 on a mission to carry cargo and observe Halley’s comet

The space shuttle exploded 73 seconds after liftoff due to a seal malfunction from the cold weather

After the Challenger The Challenger explosion questioned NASA’s abilities Shuttle missions did not resume until September 1988, two

years after the accident Challenger is known today as the worst disaster in NASA
