The Commodore 64 gets a New Life

By: Daun Lee

In 1982, the Commodore 64 was the computer every geek wanted. In our modern computing times all the technology is getting smaller and more portable. Could clunky big machines be making a comeback? The manufactures of the Commodore 64 hope so, even though the machine contains many modern upgrades the all in one computer retains its original design. The nostalgic machine will likely be a hit with people who game or remember the original but probably won’t grab the youth who are addicted to their smartphones and tablets that have benefited search engines and SEO optimization.

The Commodore 64 is big and not very portable and is a machine for true computer Geeks and lovers of novelty. The Commodore manufacturers teamed up with Apple to recreate their original and will roll out the machine with its clacking keyboard in May or June.

The Commodore is like a laptop without the screen and the anticipated market will be die-hard gamers who want to play the truly old-school video games. It’s unlikely the Commodore will eclipse the sale of tablets or smart phones which are the blessing of businesses and SEO optimization.

The portability of a computer is much more enticing to the people in the busy world we live. When a person can hold the entire web at their fingertips everyone wins, small and big business, SEO optimization and advertisers, not to mention the web surfer.
