Now one thing we REALLY love here at Truffle Towers is...gadgets!

We're always on the hunt for the latest and greatest technology treats to occupy our busy little fingers that will keep us in touch with the world, have fun, or simply lend a helping hand in life.

Looking at all the amazing technology we now have surrounding our everyday lives now got us think about the things we thought was cool, the best thing since sliced bread and at the cutting edge during the 80s and how it would compare to things now. Take a look at some of our top tech comparisons to see just how far things have come from their...larger beginnings usually.

Computers

Probably one of the most noticeable advancements in most people lives really. From very humble beginnings in the days where memory was better seen as writing something on a notepad and RAM simply defined how hard to had to hit the thing to get it to work. Basically in their very early days they became very expensive, glorified calculators. Now things did improve in the 80s, seeing many new models with the use of  discs and programmes that did bring a amazing new meaning to personal computers compared to their predecessors. Compare this now to the brand spanking new laptop we recently received at  Truffle Towers with it's 8gigs or RAM, 250gig solid state hard drive, USB 3.0 ports and more bells and whistles than a jester at a renaissance fair, it's a far cry from todays world indeed.

In our office it's easy to spot the My Little Pony fan because she's wearing a 'Daddy I want a pony' hoodie or the office geek because he's wearing the latest Big Bang Theory t-shirt and our gamer t-shirts are being sported by our in-house Xbox addicts and Playstation junkies. But even with these very different fans occupying our office space every so often theres something that causes the office to act like crazed lunatics, the latest smartphone game.

With smartphones being all-the-rage in our office its meant that we could battle over Angry Birds, puzzle over Word Press and tactle Tap the Frog. Although these popular games cause commotions and comradery, there's some games we just keep coming back to for settling arguments. Here's the top 3 retro smartphone games to keep rivalry rife in the office.....

Snake - Due to the average age in Truffle Towers being 30 we don't really remember the original 70s release of this infamous game so this one takes us back to those 'First Mobile Phone' days of the Nokia 6110 and the argument with your mates about how long your worm is (ooh matron) and the best technique as not to bite your own tail. Everyone's an expert at this game.....

We're renowned for our Friday Comps at Truffle Towers, but no-one's working this Friday so we won't be around to pick a lucky winner. Therefore in the spirit of Easter generosity, we're going to hold a four day long competition, with the normal prize of a £25 gift voucher bolstered with an eggcellent Simpsons Easter Egg kindly donated by the lovely Amy, who is sunning herself on holiday in Thailand and therefore wasn't able to claim the egg that has been sitting on her desk for the past four days. Aren't we kind!

It's as easy as 1-2-3... here's how to enter this week's comp...
