Hello friends!! How are you'll? Anyway, today our topic will be really interesting “Invention Of Video Games”. Do you like playing video games? If yes, then I too like video games. I can play them all day. So today, I’m going to tell you the fascinating story behind the invention of video games. Zoom in!!

Did you know? The video game Era started as early as the 1950’s. But because of the high costs back then, these video games were used only for boring research purposes. But soon, in 1958, a video game was created for entertainment. It was a tennis game for two. But again, it was discontinued in a  year, because of it’s high cost. As the decade progressed, many game designing enthusiasts, came up with different kinds of computer games. Like sports, puzzles, cards, logic & even board games. However, these too didn’t make it to the common public. But one man, decided to take the road less traveled. And today, we know this ma as the ‘Father of video Games'. Ralph Beer was an engineer, who saw an opportunity in the falling prizes of TV sets. To bring down costs, Ralph began to explore the idea, of playing video games on TV screens.  But his early attempts were not fruitful. However, in 1996 Ralph decided to present his brain child to one of his supervisors. As he was given a sum of $2,500  immediately. Soon, Ralph developed the world’s first video game console. So, Ralph took his invention to apply for a patent. Interestingly, within 15 minutes, every examiner on the floor, was around it, wanting to play the game. The adults started saying, “Kids are addicted to it”. In 1972, the world's first video game system was rolled out to the public. In just 1 year 100,000/1,00,000 consoles were sold. Through the years as the cost of  computers fell the coin based Arcade video games came in & ruled he gaming industry. And today, we even have motion sensing video games. Exciting, right? You must have heard things like, “Video games are bad for you” or “Video games harm your brain”. Well the goodness is this isn’t quit true. Studies have shown that playing action games help us make the right decisions faster. Let's Zoom out!!

Those Were The Days ... Author : SHRIYANS CHANDAN MOHAPATRA

  Those Were The Days ... Author : SHRIYANS CHANDAN MOHAPATRA Do you wish you could return to moments from your past? Yes, I wish I could return memories from your past as those were the days. Many people say that growing up is the best part of life. But I disagree. Growing up means a smaller margin for errors, a necessity for seriousness and I just dislike all of those.
