I asked these questions to one of my roommates and I think his answers are what most people would say. When I think about video games I always think about my dad telling me to go outside and do something instead of sitting inside. I was very active as a child and still am so I always told my self, as long as I am active I will allow myself to play. I think some kids are afraid of what other people will think so they try and stay away from it. I think the view of video games could be changing because there are more and more old people that still play and the group of people that never played and don’t play is going down. I think pretty soon everybody will be playing including parents.
Shane asks some good questions in his survey and it gets his roommate to think about what he is asking him instead of letting his roommate answer quickly. He gets good feedback and comes up with a conclusion which means the survey was successful. One think I might add is that if he would have surveyed more people he would have gotten a better overall view of peoples aspects on gaming.
