“Innovation is
hard. It really is. Because most people don’t get it. Remember, the automobile, the airplane, the
telephone, these were considered toys at their introduction because they had no
constituency. They were too new.” – Nolan Kay Bushnell
American engineer and
entrepreneur who founded both Atari, Inc. and the Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza-Time
Theaters chain. Bushnell has been inducted into the Video Game Hall of Fame and
the Consumer Electronics Association Hall of Fame, received the BAFTA
Fellowship and the Nations Restaurant News “Innovator of the Year” award, and
was named one of Newsweek 's "50 Men Who Changed America." Bushnell
has started more than twenty companies and is one of the founding fathers of the
video game industry. He is currently on the board of Anti-Aging Games, but his
latest venture is an educational software company called Brainrush that is
using video game technology in educational software, incorporating real brain
science, in a way that Bushnell believes will fundamentally change education.
