Tennis scoring preserves centuries-old terminology, which is why a modern match can still begin at 'love' instead of the much less mysterious zero. The player-facing version of the idea is simple: A replay camera can make an ordinary goal feel historic simply by changing angle, speed and sound after the result is already known. A virtual crowd can boo with remarkable confidence for people who paid no ticket price.

A little game-room trivia

Golf balls were once stuffed leather. Later came hard gutta-percha balls, and eventually the dimpled modern ball; dimples reduce drag and help a golf ball stay in the air farther. A different kind of surprise: The high jump changed dramatically when Dick Fosbury popularized going over the bar backwards at the 1968 Olympics. The 'Fosbury Flop' looked strange at first and then became the dominant technique.
