 1958 – Tennis For Two by Willy Higginbotham at Brookhaven National Laboratories. Used an oscilloscope and an analog computer to make something interesting

 Video gaming would not reach mainstream popularity until the 1970s and 1980s, when arcade video games, gaming consoles and home computer games were introduced to the general public.  Since then, video gaming has become a popular form of entertainment and a part of modern culture in most parts of the world.

 We can play games using a PC connected to a video monitor.  A console game is played on a specialized electronic device that connects to a common television set or any video monitor.  Nowadays we have devices which have the ability to play games but are not dedicated video game machines, such as mobile phones, PDAs, TVs etc.

 Computers are used in a wide variety of things in the movie making business.  For animated movies, they do most of they work.

 With the aid of sophisticated graphics and animation packages the special effect technicians can create any illusion.  They are used to create graphic images and animate them to move on the screen.  Computers can also add special effects, like louder noises, explosions, making things disappear, and much more.

 Computers and the digital age have totally transformed the music industry.  Back in the old days of music artists had a hard time trying to get a break in the industry.  It took money to book studio time to get a demo that could be sent to record labels in the hopes of making their dreams come true.  Often times artists would have to impress someone with money who would pay to have the demo made for the artist.

 Now, the music industry is not like that at all.  Anyone with a computer and a mic can record something.  Rather than spending thousands of dollars recording a demo, now it can be done by anyone in the privacy of their own home.  The big mixing console is really not needed anymore because it can all be done within a computer.

 The ability to find and obtain music on the internet has really increased.  We can check latest music and listen to any music we want via internet.  Because of IT, we can have premium sound experience with latest gadgets.

 Animation is the rapid display of a sequence of images to create an illusion of movement.  The most common method of presenting animation is as a motion picture or video program.  This type of presentation is usually accomplished with a camera and a projector or a computer viewing screen which can rapidly cycle through images in a sequence.

 Animation can be used to make cartoons, animated movies, etc.  In earlier days, cartoons were laboriously hand drawn in the thousands of frame needed for each cartoon but now computers are doing much of the repetitions work.

 The computer can create outer space, alien characters, and extinct-animals and so on without the need of creating their physical models

 Recording Information  Official statistics keepers and some scouts use computers to record statistics, take notes and chat online while attending and working at a sports event.

 Analyzing Movement  The best athletes pay close attention to detail.  Computers can slow recorded video and allow people to study their specific movements to try to improve their tendencies and repair poor habits.

 Scoreboard  Some scoreboards are manually updated, most professional sports venues have very modern scoreboards that are programmed to update statistics and information immediately after the information is entered into the computer.

 Safety  Computers have aided in the design of safety equipment in sports such as cricket helmets to shoes to mouth guards.

 Social network blends entertaining interactive functionality and content including live video streaming, video chat communications, multi-player gaming, music and videos streaming etc.  It is the foundation for a more immersive, interactive, enriching and engaging content consumption experience through social channels.
