2. History

Masaru Ibuka and colleague Akio Morita founded a company called Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo K.K , which translates in English to Tokyo Telecommunications Engineering Corporation. The company built Japan's first tape recorder called the Type-G.
Ibuka travelled in the United States and heard about Bell Labs' invention of the transistor. He convinced Bell to license the transistor technology to his Japanese company. While most American companies were researching the transistor for its military applications, Ibuka looked to apply it to communications.
In August 1955, Tokyo Telecommunications Engineering released the Sony TR-55, Japan's first commercially produced transistor radio. They followed up in December of the same year by releasing the Sony TR-72, a product that won favour both within Japan and in export markets, including Canada, Australia, the Netherlands and Germany.
In May 1956, the company released the TR-6, It was for the TR-6 that Sony first contracted "Atchan", a cartoon character, to become its advertising character. Now known as "Sony Boy", the character first appeared in a cartoon ad holding a TR-6 to his ear, but went on to represent the company in ads for a variety of products well into the mid-sixties.
"Sony was not first, but its transistor radio was the most successful. The TR-63 of 1957 cracked open the U.S. market and launched the new industry of consumer microelectronics." By the mid 1950s, American teens had begun buying portable transistor radios in huge numbers.”
Since then Sony have become one of the top leading technology company’s with triumphs such as the Playstation, MP3 players and plasma/HD TV’s. In the UK Sony’s started in 1968 when they set up their first offices up, in London. After that they opened their first factory, the first Japanese company to do so.

HOW DO YOU DO ITTT!!!

Nay media

This week has mainly been taken up with work rather than media (facebook). Therefore this weeks diary isnt very interesting! The most thing is used is Ipod which was at least listened to for about an hour a day. The normal facebook checking happened during the week. Mainly starting at around 6. Normal newspaper (sport pages) reading every other day took place. Apart from these two forms of media it was a very media deprived week! I thought id upload my 3 favourite youtube video's to make up for my lack of media dossage!
