Video Games

As we talked in class today about the positive and negative side effects of video games, we mostly discussed hand held controller games and ones that promote violence or learning. As technology increases, video games have become more of a physical activity as well, which many people tend to forget. New advances like Wii Fit, Just Dance and Xbox Kinect provide a more active atmosphere for video gamers that will also let out anger in a more productive and safe atmosphere.
