What impact have video games had on history?

I have to do a research paper for my English class, but before I delve into the world of video gaming, I was wondering if video games have actually been around long enough to have a profound impact on history. (Emphasis on the "history" part) I can think of a million ways they have impacted society and the economy, but I really can't think of any way they have had a historical impact yet. Any comments would be greatly appreciated!
