I just used a Wikipedia page to start me off however I understand I can't do this every week.  After I defined what a console is I researched an article on the evolution of consoles. While doing this I learned about consoles that I never knew existed for example the first ever console to be invented The Brown Box. I also discovered a series of consoles called the Magnavox, the first invention being the Magnavox Odyssey. When I finished talking about the evolutio...
