Path leading to Video Games

 

"Being" occurred from a zero to one

what wasn't in past, suddenly was "done"

 

Whatever is there is clearly in view

But how to study it, well that's up to you

 

A mountain, an elk, or a bullfrog

You can dub it "Real" or an "analogue"

 

Relentlessly sending the signals it makes

Unceasing, forever, without any breaks

 

But then humans learned to focus a bit

breaking things down to "atoms" and "bits"

 

Division, it led to data concrete

Rather than analogue, something discrete

 

Enters the digital realm of mankind

leaving the abstracts of "real" behind

 

With Alan, it came, innovation mean

First of its kind, the Turing machine

 

Then Neumann came up with idea bright

"Division of Hardware and Software is right"

 

"Convert it to symbols", as Shannon would say

"To make data travel a rather long way"

 

Well, Shockingly, Will Shockley made something new

Transistor, to make signals "many" from "few"

 

Intelligence was then the obvious next step

Technology back then had optimal prep

 

So it manifested into a spiel

Lo and behold, artificial was real...
