Video Games




The topic I picked was videogames. Video games are all over the world they are on computers, phones, PDA’s, and many more but it would be a very long list. Video games are in the world to influence and for entertainment. Video games can influence for good and for bad. They mostly influence for the bad because the most addiction and fun ones are the ones were you go around and shoot people. These influence people to think that it is okay to do the same outside of the virtual world and that is why there are more school shooting now then back in the day.
This subject falls under the entertainment category as I said above.

The reason I think this is a big deal is because people now are playing more video games and less active things. The people of 2010 are wasting there time looking at a screen and moving there thumbs when they could be outside doing things that make them healthy. The development of video games are getting bigger and bigger each day and that means that they are going to be more fun and interesting. Soon we might have video games where it is just like real life. That will make it so people reproduce that in the real world and that will make our lives not as safe. Video games imprint things into peoples minds, so if the video game says its okay to go around and kill other people, we are going to think that is okay in our everyday life.

This is going to become a very big topic this year and in years to come. People are going to keep playing video games and that is going to make companies keep making games that can be inappropriate, violent, and all those thing people call fun.

I think the main obstacle in video gaming is probably the parent of the kids who play games. They want there kids to be balanced and not just play video games but have a variety of things they can do.
