Video Games Impact On American Culture

175 Words1 Pages
Video games; one of the world’s main source of entertainment. Video games; the thing that eyes all around the world are glued to. Video games; the activity blamed for undeveloped social skills. Video games; a new sensation praised for increasing hand-eye coordination and attention to detail. These games must be making some sort of impact on American culture for they have been around for roughly fifty years, starting with one of the first video game, Spacewar which was released in 1962. To be fair, video games, also known as arcade games, in the 1960’s were quite mellow compared to the themes and images shown today in modern video games. Building on that last thought, I have to wonder whether these games still have any value to American culture.
