3 days earlier was this article on him http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/ralph-h-baer-a-father-of-video-gaming-dies-at-92/2014/12/07/a24c8964-7e6e-11e4-8882-03cf08410beb_story.html http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/ralph-... I see a pattern here with creative engineers: 1) Creative engineer comes up with an off-the-wall idea, it keeps bugging him, he makes a demo using spare resources 2) Shows demo to managers and superiors, they scoff and tell him to stop wasting his time 3) A couple of people he demoes it to, "get it" 4) Suddenly, thing catches on like wildfire One thing he did differently is document and patent everything.
