Evolution of Video Gaming Controllers
Reach back in your memory—prior to VR headsets, long before debates of PlayStation vs. XBox. The year was 1977, and looking back at the Atari 2600—arguably the forefather of modern video game systems—the only peripheral that connected you to the action on your television screen was a small black joystick embellished with a single red button.
Our IT Radix Team Members Love Video Games!
Video games have exploded in popularity over the last few decades and have come a long way since Atari’s Pong was released in 1972. They’re exciting, invigorating, and not just for kids—the average age of a gamer is 35! Today, there are over five million games in existence and a multitude of genres that everyone can enjoy.

Nouns Transform Into Technology Verbs
As we all know, nouns describe a person, place, or thing and verbs represent actions. But the makers of Schoolhouse Rock may need to compose a new catchy jingle, as the distinction between these two parts of speech is getting blurry.
