18th day of #BlackHistoryMonth2020 ⁣ ⁣ 𝐉𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐋𝐚𝐰𝐬𝐨𝐧 “Father of Cartridge Based Video Games” ⁣ ⁣ Born December 1, 1940 - #Brooklyn NewYork⁣ ⁣ One of the most influential game innovators, Lawson a self-taught engineer, gave us video game cartridges. Lawson pioneered home video gaming in the 1970s by helping create the Farichild #ChannelF, the first home video game system with interchangeable games. ⁣ ⁣ That system never saw the heights of popularity of consoles from Atari, Nintendo and Sega, but it was a significant step forward for the entire gaming industry. Prior to the Channel F, games like Pong were built directly into their hardware. There was no swapping them out to play something else and few believed that you could even give a console a microprocessor of its own.⁣ ⁣ It's hard to deny Lawson's #geek cred: He ran an amateur radio station out of his housing project after building a ham radio on his own (complete with an antenna hanging out of his window and a radio license). He also spent his teenage years repairing electronics all over the city. Most impressively, he taught himself most of what he knew about engineering.⁣ ⁣ Lawson recalled his childhood, "I had a picture of George Washington Carver on the wall next to my desk," he told @VintageComputing in an interview. "And my mother said, 'This could be you.' I mean, I can still remember that picture, still remember where it was."⁣ ⁣ #BlackHistory #Blerd #Engineering #Nintendo #Sega #Gamer #History #Technology #NowYouKnow #ConnectingCultures #EverythangCulture #Podcast #VideoGames #playstation #xbox #stadia #Atari #GamingHistory @codeninjas #coding #WeAllHateThatCouisinThatSpitWhenTheyBlow #seattle #houston https://www.instagram.com/p/B8ufxLuAgd_/?igshid=1fko7t0b7y39s

A pioneer in the gaming field and visionary. Imagine how much of a leap was made when Gerald "Jerry" Lawson put his genius to work. We at this time need more of a young, black, gifted presence in Silicon Valley. The GTA series is a multi billion dollar cashcow. Doesn't anyone in the Black community want in? Thank you in the essence Jerry Lawson for your contribution.
