EOTO1: What I Learned

The presentation I learned the most from was the history of video games. I found this presentation the most engaging as someone who loves video games. It was fascinating to hear how games have evolved over time. The presenter’s enthusiasm and passion for the topic really stood out to me and made it even more enjoyable.

I learned about one of the first known games, Pong. It was a table tennis simulation that became a commercial hit in the early 1970s, launching the gaming industry. Although it wasn't the first video game, Pong had a much broader impact and is often remembered as the game that popularized video gaming.

I also learned about the significant advancements made with the rise of 3D graphics during the 1990s. This led to classics and some of my favorites, like Super Mario 64 and The Legend of Zelda. During this time, companies like Sony, Sega, and Nintendo dominated the market. 

In the 2000s, gaming became more immersive and accessible with the invention of online multiplayer and mobile gaming. Today, video games are a global phenomenon, influencing culture, art, and technology worldwide.
