Opinions

The author believes that the 8-bit generation was undervalued and that their ideas, which were often realized by others, could have been executed better by them.
There is a sense of nostalgia for the past, where imagination was strong, akin to a well-trained muscle, and a belief that this imaginative power can be rekindled.
The author expresses that the current global changes necessitate a reevaluation of habits and a more integrated approach to living with nature and technology.

The author suggests that the act of learning, such as picking up Python, is not necessarily about becoming a professional developer but about sparking the imagination and creativity that lies within.

System reset for Commodore 64 and for 80’s geeks

‘Poke’ was our tool and ‘peek’ was it’s friend. It was before Facebook, long long time ago in a galaxy, not far away.

Welcome bro, i hope the filter in the title and intro worked and all younglings filtered out. I want to shake ourselves and remind us how creative we were and still we are.

Yes true we all are %99 of that 8 bit generation who couldn’t shine as much as we deserved. We filled empty scenes with our endless imagination.

Remember Blue Max or River Raid. We were in those planes and we could see the river, felt the wind on our wings.

We got in underground as Zorro and felt the cold of the walls.

Some of us were Jumpman some of us were Jumpman Junior. Remember the adrenaline when the bullet was fired?

Probably you were Larry Bird at One on One and you were angry about that foul, it really hurt you.

How did you miss that penalty at Football Of The Year II?

I am sure you all remember the Barbarian II entrance. How did you carry that sword man?

Let me say it again: i am here for the awaking

World New Order is loading and that will bring some of us a second chance.

I am totally agree that we all don’t prefer that chance come in this way but it was not in our control. Now Press Play on Tape, take your Quickshot II Turbo of your life and remember how great ideas you had in the past. Many of them came alive by strangers but they could not do it well. You were busy about some problems what that old world brought to you. I know it because i was..

When I was 6 years old, I asked my father:

- Daddy, how nice would it be if these phones were tiny and could be taken anywhere? I could even talk to you while playing outside.

- Unfortunately this is not possible. Only there are car phones, and they are not available everywhere.

This talk took place 10 years after the invention of the mobile phone, but I invented it with my expanding imagination circle.

Who first thought of that fascinating features of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram? Maybe someone working in an accounting bureau. It would be great if we reveal this fact. You know why it would be great? Because we knew better that we were too visionary to find this idea, but too lazy to realize it.

It was very easy for us to find new and bright ideas at the time. You know how the muscles of the man who works 6 hours a day in the gym. Our imagination was just as strong. I have good news for you and I am sure of that:

This is like learning to ride a bicycle. All we have to do now is go on the bicycle and pedal.

While the new world order is loading, I am sure you are aware that many habits are about to change.

Productivity is really important now than ever. Consumption habits are changing. The fact that we must live in a more integrated way with nature and the world is now very clear. Social relations are being reshaped. Technology and the solutions expected from it are now on stage and leading.

I agree, teens know the web-based firewall. But please remember we drew sprites on checkered papers. Bit, byte or even kilobyte is our playground. All stories start from there, please notice. Maybe the last program you wrote was in GW Basic. We drew the clouds long before, probably at 5 o’clock in the morning.

You know there are books called “something for dummies”. Do you know what message is there to give:

This is the book who have courage.

Why don’t you start learning Python? I am not telling you to be a Junior developer and apply for work. I just want you to see how familiar it actually is. I am sure that it will activate that imagination that is deep and will never disappear.

I repeat that innovation will be required in many areas. I respect the generation behind the wheel, but I know that there will be many innovations under your guidance.

So why don’t you stand up and start up something? I remember a song of Megadeath. It starts with an awful repeating melody but it becomes a beautiful song in coming seconds and shakes you. I see that if we focus on something which is really has a value we can make it shining by working on it.

I was 10 years old and started to enjoy being alone in the bathroom. The most difficult thing was to keep the water temperature and pressure constant. I wish there was a button that could memorize my desired temperature and pressure…

Someone invented it, but it’s not what it should be.….
