Evolution of Gaming
Gaming has come a long way since the first video game was invented in 1958. The first video game was called Tennis for Two and was played on an oscilloscope. Since then, gaming has evolved significantly. In 1972, Pong was released and became the first commercially successful video game. In 1977,. Atari released the Atari 2600, which became one of the most popular gaming consoles of all time.
In the 1980s and 1990s, gaming continued to evolve with the release of home computers and consoles such as the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) and the Sega Genesis. In the early 2000s, gaming began to shift towards online multiplayer games such as World of Warcraft and Call of Duty.
