Technology
The original working name of Rebound was Volleyball. The game is housed in a custom cabinet that includes two paddles and a lit start button. The cabinet bezel is made of an orange tinted plastic, providing an orance colored overlay to the entire screen. The game PCB is composed of discrete technology. Steve Jobs signed off on the Jan 9, 1974 dated cabinet wiring diagram provided with the units.
Rebound is also available as an upgrade to Pong. As Pong starts immediately when a coin is dropped, the Rebound PCB also immediately starts game play without the presence of start button wiring.

Famous quotes containing the word technology:
“Our technology forces us to live mythically, but we continue to think fragmentarily, and on single, separate planes.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
“Primitive peoples tried to annul death by portraying the human body—we do it by finding substitutes for the human body. Technology instead of mysticism!”
—Max Frisch (1911–1991)
“Technology is not an image of the world but a way of operating on reality. The nihilism of technology lies not only in the fact that it is the most perfect expression of the will to power ... but also in the fact that it lacks meaning.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
