Journal 70: Social Influences – Entertainment

We can see from the internet and from oral histories of those that are older than our generation that the good old days without technological control of our mind have been long lost. From that, we infer that they live i na world where there are radio, tv but they aren't that widespread and they resort to other activities. Classic teenagers these days are the teenagers that sit in front of a computer and plays computer all day. It might not be represented of all of us but it can be equivalent to the people that played tic tac toe or chess with themselves in the old days. Computer games are so popular now not just because they're more widespread and more fun, it's because there is a whole new and wider social network in the gaming realm. For many gamers, they might have more friends that they shared more secrets to in the virtual reality and people across the world playing the same game at the same time than the people in his classroom because they felt more disclosed and confident when they now they cannot have an affect on their life with these secrets. Gaming has become socializing for some people and it is a problem because kids should be out in the field playing and chatting under the moonlit night sky.
