"Though you may not know his name, Jerry Lawson helped lay the groundwork for
all modern gaming consoles. As chief hardware engineer for Fairchild
Semiconductor’s game division in the 1970s, Lawson was largely responsible for
the Fairchild Channel F—the first console to include its own microchip and the
first to use cartridges."

A great story about an important pioneer.  Via Kee Hinckley.

Share and enjoy,
