Blog #7: COMM 303


As a kid, I grew up playing all the video game systems there were basically. I had a younger brother so he would always ask for the systems for his birthday or Christmas. My mom would make sure we didn't spend all of our time playing video games and that we got our homework done and played outside. People today can spend most of their time playing video games and not get any exercise. This causes people to become lazy and possibly obese. They have tried to make games that get you to stand up and be active such as the Wii and Kinect for Xbox.
I'm one of those people that find myself playing video games for hours. I usually stick to Nintendo 64, Wii, or The Sims 3. Video games has never been a huge distraction for me though to where I choose to play games than do my homework. For others, it causes them to fall behind in class because they need to play it all the time. Society has changed a lot towards video games since Sega first came out back in the day. They are making systems with better games and better graphics making it more enjoyable to play. People will have to learn to cut back on time to play and focus on things that are more important in life. 
At this rate, people will continue to buy video games and play them while escaping themselves from the real world. Video games will just become more technical and fun to play so they will become more addicting. Video games has a while before they stop being made and stop being played.
