My Love of Video Games

Happened to walk in on my bosses husband just yesterday and he was watching the history channel.  Would you know it they were doing a documentary about the technology and history of video games.  Sadly I missed most of it because I was working, but that's ok I have the internet to help me watch it or learn more about it whenever i feel like it.  So I researched and found out that the very first video games was called Tennis fot two and was invented by William Higinbotham in 1958 who was a nuclear physicist who had worked on the Manhattan Project and lobbied for nuclear nonproliferation as the first chair of the Federation of American Scientists.  people Tennis for Two saw a two-dimensional view of a tennis court on the oscilloscope screen, which used a cathode-ray tube similar to a black and white television tube. The ball, a brightly lit, moving dot, left trails as it bounced to alternating sides of the net. Players served and volleyed using controllers with buttons and rotating dials to control the angle of an invisible tennis racquet’s swing.  Now look where we are in 53 years.  Video games sure have come far in that period of time.  Now we can swing a remote around and play the Wii.  Graphics have really advanced as we can see with the PS3 and XBOX 360.
