Negative or Positive View of Gaming

Do people have a negative view of gaming? Interview your roommates or conduct a survey to find out.  Tell us what you learn?

I decided to do a large number of interviews  I decided on my parents and coworkers.  (Around 10.  I was bored.)

My parents have a positive view on gaming.  They were able to see how video games were able to teach my brother and me in ways they could not.  My mom and dad were there every step of the way.  And they admit, video games truly do help.  My language skills have improved just by simply reading the subtitles (Being hearing impaired from birth screws up your social skills and language skills and grammar almost immediately.  Thus, important to develop.).  My brother was able to think in creative ways to solve a problem.  The list goes on and on in a variety of ways.  So, they have no qualms with videogames.  Except when my work suffers cause of videogames…  Then, they have a bone to pick with me.  Hehe.  Anyway, even though my parents support videogames, it doesn’t mean they are able to play them.  My dad is normally too tired from work.  The best he can do is play Wii.  Simple stuff.  Not “do ultra-fast series of buttons in half-second”.  His fingers aren’t the way they used to be.  My mother is almost the same way.  Except she doesn’t have the fingers problem.  Otherwise, she is the same way as my father.

My coworkers are, for the most part, gamers.  By the way, I work at Fareway Meat Department in Sergeant Bluff.  The part-timers there are for the most part around college age or just graduated from college.  Thus, they play videogames.  It is easy to figure out their opinions.  The full-timers and managers don’t have the time to do such things.  They have families and whatnot to deal with.  Thus, they pretty much have no time for such things.  They agree it’s fun.  But, they don’t worry about it.  They have other things to be more concerned about.

All of the people I interviewed were really quite young.  So, they obviously would agree more so than, say, an elderly person of the age 70.  So, the survey is proof that McGonigal is correct.  The younger you are, the more likely you are likely to accept videogames.

  24. Thanks for sharing your ideas. I’d personally also like to convey that video games have been actually evolving. Modern tools and improvements have assisted create genuine and fun games. These kind of entertainment games were not actually sensible when the actual concept was being experimented with. Just like other areas of technology, video games also have had to develop via many years. This itself is testimony for the fast progression of video games.

  25. The things i have observed in terms of pc memory is that often there are features such as SDRAM, DDR and so forth, that must match the features of the motherboard. If the pc’s motherboard is kind of current and there are no operating system issues, upgrading the ram literally requires under sixty minutes. It’s among the list of easiest personal computer upgrade methods one can imagine. Thanks for giving your ideas.

  26. One thing I want to say is before getting more computer memory, look at the machine in which it could well be installed. Should the machine is actually running Windows XP, for instance, the memory ceiling is 3.25GB. Installing more than this would just constitute a waste. Be sure that one’s motherboard can handle the upgrade quantity, as well. Interesting blog post.

  27. I think this is among the most important info for me. And i am glad reading your article. But wanna remark on some general things, The website style is ideal, the articles is really nice : D. Good job, cheers
