Last week I had the pleasure of meeting Grant Amann from Sandy, Utah.  He was in DC to compete in the National History Fair.  Every year students from across the U.S. create a project that is fitted to a yearly theme.  This year's theme was "Revolution, Reaction, and Reform in History."  Grant competed in teh Website category, and created a website that was centered around the creator of the video game: Ralph Baer.

Ralph Baer started a revolution with home video games that continues to affect us today.  IN the 1960s, he created a video game prototpye, and now, only 50 years later, video games have evolved to become incredibly immersing life-like activities that do not even need controllers.  Baer's ideas have grown into a $18.5-billion-dollar-a-year industry and a component of life for a majority of the world.

I would like to congratulate Grant for his participation in the competition, and I invite everyone to review the website he created:
