 The first video game.  

Everyone knows that nowadays we have powerful consoles and technology like the ps4, ps5 ps portal and the xbox series s and x. But back in the day it was very different, they didn’t have powerful devices. Hello I’m going to talk about the first video game in the world.

Did you know that the first video game was tennis for two created on October the 18th 1958  by William Higinbotham and Robert Dvorak. 

Tennis for two was where there was a ball that bounced off paddles and every time the player hit the ball it would get faster and faster until you lost. You lose when the ball touches the wall.The controllers were two aluminum sticks that were attached to the computer, each with a button and a knob.

Here are some facts about tennis for two.  Tennis for two was made in a couple of hours.Tennis for two was 10 to 17 inches. It was made 14 years before pong. After the 1959 visitor day, it was disassembled.Tennis for two had no sound .Tennis for two is 66 years old and The game was played on an oscilloscope,and I know you don’t know what an oscilloscope is, it is a type of electronic test instrument that graphically displays varying voltages of one or more signals as a function of time. 

So now every time you play video games you think to yourself what it would be like back in the day. Playing tennis for two with your friends, having lots of fun or not,maybe that’s why everyone played outside in the 1960s.
