Gerald Lawson was the director of engineering at Fairchild Semiconductor.
In 1970 Lawson pioneered home video gaming and helped create “Fairchild Channel F” a home entertainment system made in 1975.
Lawson's work allowed people to play a variety of games in their homes and paved the way for systems like the Atari, Nintendo, Xbox and Playstation.
Ever since the invention of the television, entertainment systems have become a part of our living lives. It's the way we connect, come together, share laughs.
Technology encompasses every aspect of society, especially entertainment. The advanced consoles people play on today had to start somewhere. Jerry Lawson is one of the pioneers of that technology.
