Video Games Are Changing The World

What I got from the video we watched in class was very surprising. She started off by first giving us facts, such as most kids who play video games play about 3 million hours which is equivalent to schooling hours from fifth grade all the way to high school graduation. She then gave a reason why people play video games, that video games always have a chance for an epic win and you can expect it to come. as in life you do not always know what or when the epic win will come, so people play video games to get away from "real life". Video games also have tons of people willing to help and be your friend to get the epic win, but in real life there is not always someone willing to help you along and keep you going. she states     "we play video games to get what we cant have in real life"   such as money nice cars or cute girls etc. I believe this statement could be very true. She also says that video games build trust which in real life you do not always know who you can and can not trust. Games have been around since the beginning of time. she told a story about how a tribe played games all day and ate the day after and did that day to day and  were able to manage to stay alive. all in all I think the video was a very descriptive and i will probably will not be able to play another video game without thinking about this video!
