This is awesome. You learn something new everyday. Apparently Jerry was THE top dog at Fairchild Semiconductor. Very impressive

[bobcooper]

I actually kinda wanna get a channel f. Cool controller, addictive games- and who else can say "i have one of these".

[wilra]

Is it me or did he not even mention the name of the console? I must be tripping ! Am I?

[Global_Unwarming_]

Actually the entirety of IBM's employees were ultimately the ones who created the technology to have video game cartridges, not just the single black man you mention here. You people are more deluded than I originally thought.

Somebody need to tell Soulja Boy about this man right here

[Vezmus]

Without this guy's ingenuity, my childhood would have been a lot less fun! Thank you Mr. Lawson!

[timelesslimitless]

I just did a story on this man. Very incredible!!

>When you Have no Actual Inventors, So you Take an Invention Made then put it out of Context in terms of How Much it Actually Did for the Advancement of Technology due to an Inferiority Complex.
