The Sony name was created by combining “SONUS,” the original Latin for “SONIC,” meaning sound, with “SONNY,” denoting small size, or a youthful boy. It was chosen for its simple pronunciation that is the same in any language. So why is Sony one of the greatest consumer electronic manufacturers?

Since 1946 Sony Corporation has been committed to bringing the world the best in technology. Even though Sony Corporation has been around for many years, the original Sony Corporation was actually called - Tokyo Telecommunications Engineering Corporation or more commonly Totsuko. It was only in January 1958 that the company changed its name to Sony Corporation after taking “SONUS,” the original Latin for “SONIC,” meaning sound, with “SONNY,” denoting small size, or a youthful boy. So, the
name Sony was used because of its ease of pronunciation in any language!

Apart from looking at simply the corporate world of Sony Corporation, there is much more to Sony Corporation that makes it a leader in consumer electronics. This innovation comes with Sony not just simply recreating products, but actually inventing new technology.

In May 1960 - Sony Corporation was the first company to create the world’s first direct-view portable television. The TV8-301 the world’s first non-projection-type portable transistor tele comprised of 23 transistors and 19 diodes, this model was developed based on Sony’s extensive experience in radio
technology. In an age when televisions were assumed to be living room fixtures, this device opened the door to personal television use. Additionally, the TV8-301 model offered three choices for power input.

Sony Corporation made further advancements and in 1962 produced the world’s smallest all transistor television (the TV5-303). The advancements however did not stop there. In 1963 the world’s first compact transistor VTR, the PV-100, launched. And in 1965 the world’s first home-use open-reel VTR, the CV-2000, launched, paving the way to allow people to record and playback over 1 hour of video.

There are so many new offerings that Sony Corporation has brought us, which we did not have before. The Walkman is probably on of the greatest inventions from Sony. Before Sony Corporation invented the portable Walkman, there was no practical way of going for a Jog with music playing. Sony also
brought us the world’s first CD player also, which is something we see included in our personal computer, our HiFi system, and our car!

The Sony Playstation is another breakthrough. The Sony Playstation range has gone from 1 to PS2 to now PS3 and it looks like Sony Corporation will continue to make breakthroughs in the console market. The Sony Playstation is not quite a PC, but its specs make it pretty close.

Sony Corporation is one which has left its mark on history as one of the only consumer electronic companies that has brought to the world so many world firsts. Sony even has AIBO, a robot dog that is just as good as a dog, without the vet bills.
