In October 1958 Physicist William Higinbotham created what is thought to be the first video game. It was a very simple tennis game, similar to the classic 1970s video game Pong, and it was quite a hit at a Brookhaven National Laboratory open house. 03 How the idea arose? in October Brookhaven held annual visitors’ days, during which thousands of people would come tour the lab. Higinbotham was responsible for creating an exhibit to show off the instrumentation division’s work. Most of the existing exhibits were rather dull. Higinbotham thought he could better capture visitors’ interest by creating an interactive demonstration. he had thought “it might liven up the place to have a game that people could play, and which would convey the message that our scientific endeavors have relevance for society.” 04 FUNCTION FOR FOR FOR relaxation opportunities to exert control enjoyment FOR TO FOR creativity prevent boredom Challenges and achievements 05 Advantages and Desadvantages ADVANTAGES ● ● ● ● Improves coordination Enhances memory Enhances multitasking skills It is a great source of learning DESADVANTAGES ● Lack of other hobbies ● Poor academic performance ● Negatively affects eyesight ● It can cause insomnia SURPRISING BENEFITS CREATIVITY PROBLEM SOLVING IMPROVES VISION READING SOCIAL CONNECTIONS EXTRA FACTS VIDEO GAMES STATISTICS GENDER AGE Under 18 18-34 41% Female 50% Male MOST SELLED MINECRAFT Sandbox video game created by mojang GRAND THEFT AUTO Published by Rockstar Games as a Action/Adventure video game TETRIS Developed by EA Mobile available for all platforms CAMPAIGN LOCATIONS These are the locations where there the video games are more selled United states China Japan THANKS!
