The 1980s is a decade defined by America's obsession with technology. Yuppies, hackers, and valley girls created a new language in fashion as well as the consumer culture that naturally followed. At their core, the products that fueled this consumerism all had one thing in common - the microchip. Take a closer look at this period in time that began with Pac Man and ended with the personal computer.
