video games

So my boyfriend had dental surgery last week and he isn't allowed to be super active for about a week while he recovers. I'm completely up for a week of moving watching and relaxing and just hanging out. Unfortunately there has been a lot of video game playing.

I find video games to be ridiculous but we have them all over, and the people that make them just make them more and more appealing to us. If you want a blue-ray player just get a playstation 3 it stores movies music tv shows games and plays blue ray. If you want a game that you can carry with you well heck it's in your touch screen smart phone. There are games on your new netbook. Video games can replace friends, and basically all social interaction. Who needs the pressure of actually dealing with people. Men have made millions of dollars of off an almost mental thievery. Video games take away our imagination our ability to interact and our desire to get out, its another way to keep us in the house. Heck there are even games now to get us moving since real movement is no longer desirable and it's definitely showing on the waistlines of today.

Take a day turn off the tv put down your phone and have a real conversation, see daylight, run play see how long it takes you to get bored and remember there used to be a time when these things didnt exist-new technologies make our lives easier, but at what cost. In a few generations will all original ideas be gone will all contact be cut off will all need for us to be human be gone?

I totally agree with you on this point Anne. I think the games and things make us waste time we could be using to serve others...santans way of keeping us from doing what we should be doing...distracting us.
