Gaming Gone Wild



2008-2009 Entry #3

How many of you play video games at least once a day? After school? During school? How many of you play video games so much that at one point you've forgotten you're mothers' name? Whether it is Super Mario Brothers, Tetris or Rock Band video games seem to have taken hold of our young people. As a member of an "older" generation I am perplexed. What is it about these games that steals away so much time from our youth and is there anything that we can do to revert our young people's attention to other things like playing sports, spending time with our family and friends, volunteering or God forbid, trying to get better marks at school? In your opinion when is enough enough? I'd like to know what you think.
