When you think of IBM, do you think of those old Selectric typewriters clacking away in the secretary pool? No? Well, how about the innovator of a personal computer built like a tank but captured the hearts of so many households that much of what IBM did still resonates in computers today. International Business Machines didn't know much about the microcomputer industry back in the late 1970s but learned quickly.

Tamagotchis, Digimons, Gigapets: if you grew up a 90's child, why would you own a real live pet when digital pets were so much more fun.

Pong is nearly 50 years old. It dominated arcades and got home gamers addicted to video games in the 1970s. It was only a dot and two lines as paddles, so what made it so special? This first episode explores the early days of Pong and its conception from arcade to home console and discusses a few modern versions of Pong aimed at getting new generations hooked.
