Video Game Research
The article I found was an article from The Economist that is titled Playing to Win that was written in 2004. The article starts out talking about how video games are becoming more and more lifelike that they can be used as training for the real world counterparts. It talks about how Dwight Freeney won the 2003 “Madden Bowl” and attributed it to his knowledge of the game from playing it. Then the article talked about how the military uses video games as training because using the actual machinery was becoming too expensive to use the real thing. I think this is a great article because it compares the video games to real life. It shows how the games can be used to affect the real life world around them. Because of this, the games can be used as training methods for people in different professions to further themselves in life. I compare this to Nascar drivers using video game machines to learn the race tracks they are going to race at even though they are nowhere near the race tracks that they are driving on. Because of these features that video games bring to the table now, they will continue to revolutionalize the way that things are conducted around the world. Things have even changed so much that some weapons in the world are so advanced that they can be used remotely, kind of like a video game but in real life. Because of these advancements video games are becoming like real life, and real life is becoming like video games. They are almost becoming interchangable.
I really like the specific examples and details you report from your reading. You should add more specifics like this to your paper.
