PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Video games have been used thought the years to entertain board people.
Time Line
- A.S. Douglas created the first computer game in 1952 which was tic tac toe.
- the first video game console was created in 1972 and it was called Magnavox Odyssey.
- in 1967 Ralph Baer wrote the first video game played on the T.V. and it was called Chase.
- I 1971 Nolan Bushnell and ted Dabney created the first arcade game called Computer Space.
- In 1972 the first commercial video game concil that could be played at home.
- Video games have been revolusinized since then
A.S. Douglas created the first computer game in 1952 which was tic tac toe. But the first video game console was created in 1972 and it was called Magnavox Odyssey.
When it was originally invented, it was still used to entertain some social circles but not all making it not as popular. It is used today for entertain people in many ways at once, in different ways for different people. Because of the now wide variety more people can enjoy this invention.
Multiple companies like Nintendo have made newer consoles and remodeled and recreated each one, for an example. We started with the xbox 360 and are now at the xbox 1.
Video games could be classified as Energy and Power or
Nanotechnology Because there are many different kinds of video games used for different things using electricity and also they can be used to make things.
Video games can impact society in positive and negative ways. It entertains people and keeps them busy, but it affects them is a bad way because people are losing brain cells and not regenerating or exercising leading to unhealthy environments.
Each part of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineer, Mathematics) has something to do with video games in there own way.
Science discovers a material used to create a controller to play the games.
Technology Creates a game interesting and updated enough to sell for companies to make money.
Engineering Designs the controller and for it to pick up a signal and work.
Mathematics finds out
What is the scoring and maximum point value for winning.
Larry Kerecman once said, "The brilliance of these machines was that Nolan Bushnell and company took what was computer programming (in Space War) and translated it into a simpler version of the game (no gravity) using hard-wired logic circuits. The printed circuit boards that comprise electronics of these games use integrated circuits called small-scale integrated circuits. They consist of discrete logic chips and gates or gates, 4-line to 16-line decoders, etc. straight out of the Texas Instruments catalog. The shape of the rocket ship and flying saucer even are visible in a pattern of diodes on the PC board."
Video games have been innovated because we have the technology to make it better and to entertain all social circles. Also because we have new upgraded things we don't get board of the old stuff.
