Why do black people invent shit?
Gerald A. Lawson
What He Invented: The Modern Home-Video Gaming Console.
Why It?s Important: Anyone who owns a Playstation, Wii or Xbox should know Lawson?s name. He created the first home video-game system that used interchangeable cartridges, offering gamers a chance to play a variety of games and giving video-game makers a way to earn profits by selling individual games, a business model that exists today.
