Portrait Of An Inventor: Ralph Baer

While the creators of Pong went on to be widely regarded by pop culture as the creators of the first smash hit videogame, a humble inventor by the name of Ralph Baer actually created the first home console in his home which predated Pong by a few years. This system, which came to be known as the Magnavox Odyssey went on to spawn countless imitators and played a big part in kickstarting the console craze of the 70's and 80's. This poignant mini documentary by David Friedman gives us a little insight as to what keeps Ralph going at the age of 95, as well as some of his innovations.
