Thanks to the kind offices of the folks at PARC!
I recommend the video, because you can see the slides, and there are some diagrams and stuff on those that I reference.
Errata: it’s actually 51% of the bracket 36-50. (That will make sense if you listen to the whole thing). And it’s Higinbotham with one G.
At some point, I’ll transcribe this and make it a page on the site…

Both of them are aimed at “non-gamer” audiences about the promise and future of the medium, but they are both thought provoking enough to warrant some time from gamers and game industry folkRaph Koster (always entertaining and a couple steps ahead of the rest of us) offers us a link to his talk on “The medium that ate my world”.
