Digital Cultures: Chapter 5- Video Gaming


Its unbelievable to look back at the history of video gaming. From the games that set the foundation for the gaming industry such as Pong and Pac-Man from Atari to the many Call of Duty games now offered on multiple consoles. Here is a corny rap video that goes through the stages of the gaming world from Atari to the Nintendo Wii. 


These games that were once connected to our televisions and restricted us to our homes if we wanted to play them, however it does not hold us back anymore. A lot of video games can now be accessed through multiple mobile devices such as cell phones, tablets, laptops, and portable gaming devices such as Nintendo DS and PSPs.  There seems to be no limitations to video games and with technology developing at unremarkable rates who knows where they may take us. These gaming consoles are not just for video games but have multiple uses and possibilities that are found within one device. I will leave you with one more video that visually shows you the endless possibilities of the Xbox Kinect. Who knows where these video consoles may lead us in the near future. How will these devices change our lifestyles in the years to come? I for one am very excited to see where technology leads the gaming industry and what other industries the video gaming world may dive into.
