Sony | Simply the Best
It's true! The name Sony speaks volumes, owing to their unending
success of rolling out quality products, be they MP3 players,
computers, TVs, cameras, and the myriad of other solid buys; the
list goes on.
While this article may seem like a flagrant plug for
Sony, it is not meant to be and is simply my opinion on a
brilliant company and the appeal and grip that Sony has on the
electronic/entertainment market around the globe. People perhaps
like to knock it like people like to knock any success story,
but it is what it is, the brainchild of two intelligent Japanese
guys who hit the nail on the head.
Brief History of Sony
Sony was founded just after World War II in Tokyo, 1946, by two
men; the engineer Masaru Ibuka, and the physicist Akio
Morita. They invested a modest sum of money to kick start
the company, with just 20 employees.
The success started early, with the introduction of such
thoroughbreds as Japan's first transistor radio, followed by a
pocket radio and later, a portable, miniature television. It
wasn't until the late 1970s, however, that Sony really hit the
big time with the introduction of the Sony Walkman; a
then modern marvel of sound innovation allowing its user to
walk, jog, ride, climb a mountain, or do whatever, while
listening to music.
Sony Today
Few companies have come close to having the consistent success
that Sony has bred, with their reputation for innovation and
reliability. It's unlikely that the company will be slowing down
in the future either; they keep coming up with groundbreaking
ideas, from miniature cameras and mobile phones to benchmark
games platforms and all-encompassing studio home theater systems.
I, for one, hope they continue turning over the billions of Yen
that they do in order that they may continue churning out these
awesome ideas an products.
