Bill Hendershot is the inventor of television's Time Machine. The
machine, shown behind him, condenses television shows and movies
into shorter running times to create space for more commercials

awarded to Hendershot in 1974 for developing equipment that
improved digital video technique.
Ian Stepp remembers visiting his aunt’s house as a kid, where he’d play classic games like Duck Hunt and iterations of the Mario Brothers saga on the family’s trusty old Nintendo Entertainment System.
