Video Games

The fast paced world of technology is expanding quickly and is beginning to take the player right out of the comfort of their living room and emerging them into virtual worlds. From military training simulators to the new Xbox One, gaming technology is starting to break the boundaries of reality. The future of gaming generations is all through touch screens and sensors putting you right into the driving seat. As technology evolves, people begin to panic just like they did with the invention of Tvs along with the beginning of different forms of mass media as well, believing they would soon take over peoples life.
  A video game is a computer-controlled game where a video display such as a monitor or television is the primary feedback device. The term "computer game" also includes games which display only text (and which can therefore theoretically be played on a teletypewriter) or which use other methods, such as sound or vibration, as their primary feedback device, but there are very few new games in these categories. There always must also be some sort of input device, usually in the form of button/joystick combinations (on arcade games), a keyboard & mouse/trackball combination (computer games), or a controller (console games), or a combination of any of the above. Also, more esoteric devices have been used for input. Usually there are rules and goals, but in more open-ended games the player may be free to do whatever they like within the confines of the virtual universe.

In common usage, a "computer game" or a "PC game" refers to a game that is played on a personal computer. "Console game" refers to one that is played on a device specifically designed for the use of such, while interfacing with a standard television set. "Arcade game" refers to a game designed to be played in an establishment in which patrons pay to play on a per-use basis. "Video game" (or "videogame") has evolved into a catchall phrase that encompasses the aforementioned along with any game made for any other device, including, but not limited to, mobile phones, PDAs, advanced calculators, etc.

Video Games are used as a source of mass media and communication as it is a platform for large firms and companies to sell their new products and services to the public. Video games are mostly popular with teenagers and companies use this to sell products. In certain games companies pay a price for the game to use a product of theirs in the gameplay. Through this the product reaches the target audience and sales and profit increase.The Gaming world is becoming more advance than anyone had ever expected ten years ago and makes you wonder how far it will go in our life time. Game systems have evolve over the years from “pong” and game cube to xbox and Wii technology is quickly advancing. While it is exciting to have all of these new innovations the perfection of these alternative worlds is going to effect human behavior.
