Gaming is my life! Not really, but I usually play games a lot. Gaming has evolved from time to time. Many video games have been the center of controversy. For example, ever heard of Grand Theft Auto? This game has been hit with many negative controversies because of it's intimidation and the way it reflects to society. I read a article two years ago about a 6 year old boy learning to drive claiming that he learned from the game. Many people believe that video games can be for fun while others believe that it can be very addicting. Today, gaming has revolutionized society and the way we take advantage of them. I think it's wonderful how our technology has grown and gets more in depth in just 50 years. From arcade games to 2D games and up to 3D games, video games have changed drastically. With the many details and the high definition graphics, you would for sure have a great time. However, with many teenagers spending too much time playing video games, do you think addiction is getting out of hand? Many parents tend to take away their children's video games because of their poor performance at school or maybe because of their bad attitude of what they learn. But hey, we just want to have fun right? The point of video games is to have fun, be entertained, and to pass time. Video games can also set up accomplishments. For example, a lot of people in the school has the video game Modern Warfare 2. Why? Who knows. Is it fun to play with friends online? Sure it is. It's also fun to bloat who has the higher rank or kill/death ratio. My point is that video games can boost up your self-esteem and how you can achieve your goal by finishing the game or such.
I don't think video games are disguised as wolves in sheep clothing. Video games is a great piece of technology that has evolved from time to time. Who uses a joystick now-a-days when you can use a Wii nun chuck and remote? Also, how fit can you be when you can try out Wii fit? Want to be on television? Try out PlayStation's Eye-Toy or Xbox's Project Natal! This proves how video games can be more innovated as time goes on.
Too many kids in our school are addicted to MW2. They need to focus on units, kidding. But they do need to chill about playing it.
ReplyDeleteHey Nat! The fact that games have in fact grown at an amazing rate regarding to it's past and present graphical quality. Gaming companies seem to enjoy experimenting new things, creating new ideas and thinking of better things to add to games, basically advancing. The problem about too much 'gaming' would be what? Now that technology is advanced enough to make games that will keep us physically fit what should we worry about? I know that some people can become seriously obsessed with a game to the point where they would ignore their responsibility and food just to play this game, this addiction is a negative factor about video games. Please check about my post about this topic.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree. Games of the old days were problematic due to the fact that nothing really moved while playing. But the strides they've made to ensure that gamers have at least *some* form of movement is refreshing.
