Atari held the first video game tournament
Since the first consumer video game, Computer Space, came out in the early 1970s, video games have changed a lot. What used to be a niche hobby is now a very profitable business that brings in well over $100 billion each year. In 1980, the Space Invaders Championship was the first big video game tournament. It was put on by the American company Atari, Inc. Over 10,000 people from all over the United States signed up for the tournament, which helped bring competitive gaming into the mainstream.
In the 1940s, a radio show
Before television, the radio was the most popular way to spend time at home. From the early 1920s to the 1950s, which is called the “Golden Age of Radio,” families would get together in the evening to listen to the radio. When the radio was invented, it opened the door to a lot of new kinds of entertainment, many of which later moved to TV. From the 1930s to the 1960s, radio dramas were very popular. They used dialogue, sound effects, and music to help listeners picture the story and the characters.
