I found this to be entertaining in a way, it made me think, "look what technology has done to people", but then it also occurred to me that it could be argued that people have done this to themselves, with the help of technology. When I read this article, the first thing that I related it to was my little brother, and how he seems like the kind of person who will end up in rehab for video-gaming. How much of an effect does gaming have on society? Another question that I would love to further investigate is if people get so addicted that their grades begin to slip because of it. I found this topic interesting because it made me contrast previous generations with our current generation on the issue of how they used to spend their free time, and how drastic the changes are.
i dont know how much video gaming will affect peoples grades, but i know it will definately affect people's social skills and the way we socialize. like on xbox, people can chat and play, yet theres no face-to-face. thats wat will really affect us.
ReplyDeleteI agree, it's incredible how our generation's hobbies have changed from our parents' generation. I also find it crazy how much time some kids can spend on video games and on the computer.
ReplyDeleteThis is really sad I think that people play that amount of video games. I personally play a lot of them but to play so much that you need to go to a rehab clinic..... It is not the video games though, it is the people who play them.
