In ethics, value denotes the degree of importance of some thing or action, with the aim of determining what actions are best to do or what way is best to live (normative ethics), or to describe the significance of different actions (axiology).

It may be described as treating actions themselves as abstract objects, putting value to them.

It deals with right conduct and good life, in the sense that a highly, or at least relatively highly, valuable action may be regarded as ethically "good" (adjective sense), and an action of low in value, or somewhat relatively low in value, may be regarded as "bad".

What makes an action valuable may in turn depend on the ethic values of the objects it increases, decreases or alters.

An object with "ethic value" may be termed an "ethic or philosophic good" (noun sense).

Information is that which informs.

In other words, it is the answer to a question of some kind.

It is thus related to data and knowledge, as data represents values attributed to parameters, and knowledge signifies understanding of real things or abstract concepts.

As it regards data, the information's existence is not necessarily coupled to an observer (it exists beyond an event horizon, for example), while in the case of knowledge, the information requires a cognitive observer.

History (from Greek, historia, meaning "inquiry, knowledge acquired by investigation") is the study of the past as it is described in written documents.

Events occurring before written record are considered prehistory.

It is an umbrella term that relates to past events as well as the memory, discovery, collection, organization, presentation, and interpretation of information about these events.

Scholars who write about history are called historians.

A game is a structured form of play, usually undertaken for enjoyment and sometimes used as an educational tool.

Games are distinct from work, which is usually carried out for , and from art, which is more often an expression of aesthetic or ideological elements.

However, the distinction is not clear-cut, and many games are also considered to be work (such as professional players of spectator sports or games) or art (such as jigsaw puzzles or games involving an artistic layout such as Mahjong, solitaire, or some video games).

Pong is one of the earliest arcade video games and the first sports arcade video game.

It is a table tennis sports game featuring simple two-dimensional graphics.

While other arcade video games such as Computer Space came before it, Pong was one of the first video games to reach mainstream popularity.

The game was originally manufactured by Atari, which released it in 1972.

Allan Alcorn created Pong as a training exercise assigned to him by Atari co-founder Nolan Bushnell.

Bushnell based the idea on an electronic ping-pong game included in the Magnavox Odyssey, which later resulted in a lawsuit against Atari.

Surprised by the quality of Alcorn's work, Bushnell and Atari co-founder Ted Dabney decided to manufacture the game.
