This blog is about how video games can help people in everyday life and in educational purposes. The gaming world is growing at an extreme rate. According to Spil Games approximately 1.2 billion people play video games world wide(16% of the world's population). Education in America as we know it is changing. We are starting to no longer use textbooks but we are using online books. Everything we know in schools is becoming electronic. Some key jobs that are predicted for the future are Mobile Application Developer, Software Engineer, Video Game Designer, IT Security Specialist, Computer Systems Analyst, Web Developer. Every single job is required to develop a video game.
According to NPD, 91 percent of U.S. children ages 2-17 play video games. Parents see video games as the enemy, but instead of fighting the kids to stop playing they should be encouraging them to play games after they study. Some games tend to have a large amount of information in them. Not only will the information be learned but the child playing will learn highly social skills needed in school and in the workforce.
