Did you know that video games have a very long history?
The origin of video games started with the invention of cathode ray tube-based missile defense systems in the late 1940s. These devices were then adapted to simple games in the 1950s.
Tennis for Two 1958
Pong 1972Pong is Tennis for Two's successor. I'm quite sure some of you may still remember it and I'm also quite sure that a number of people still play this even now.
This is the Atari Home Pong console released in 1975.
This is the upright cabinet of Pong.The very first video games were already installed in their consoles.
Then came cassettes and tapes.
Then of course with the invention of the compact disks. Game consoles were then designed to use CDs.
The WiiOne of the latest gaming consoles of the present.
The PS3
Also one of the latest gaming consoles of the present.

Then came of course the portable game consoles. You can buy all these in supermarkets or online.
Video games have really gone far from when it first started to now. Video games of now are getting more and more realistic. I wouldn't be surprised that in only a few more years, game developers would be able to make virtual reality games where a player would be able to feel everything in the game as if it was in the real world but such a technology like that would still be very dangerous to use. Like many other people, I am also fond of video games but of course, there are still limits to gaming. Too much exposure would prove to be dangerous and unhealthy. But always remember to have fun.

Interesting! This post reminded me of my high school days where I enjoyed playing Atari at home until midnight ;-)
Thanks for sharing, Ben. Enjoy your weekend.
Hey Ben! Good research. Keep on writing. You always come up with very interesting topics each time I visit your blog.
I appreciate how you value fun and that you know that there are boundaries and limits in life that we need to be aware of.
I'm proud of you!

"From Alfred Hitchcock in 1971, the Academy Fellowship has been awarded in recognition of outstanding achievement in the art forms of the moving image. "
And the recent addition of Shigeru Miyamoto as a Fellow led to a statement of introduction which seems important for this conversation.
