The videosjuegos: entertainment for profit?



When in the middle twentieth century appeared the first videogame, no one suspected the boom they would half a late century.Today, we can find a wide range of genres and themes embedded in this kind of distraction, which range from a game sports, up to a game of strategy, through the adventure.

Is for this reason that one wonders:  ¿the videogames are for more than just entertainment?, the answer seems to be no, they were created only to amuse the people, and if you find another, there would be videogames the means for finding, since these are not limiting emerging from the projected screen.

But, seeing the enormous investment of private companies, more progress and accent who have sought and found the scientists, we realize that this infant industry is clearly a lethal weapon to increase surplus through private consumption, and a powerful dose of escape from reality by those who occupy it.

That statement is very visible in the present, today we find fewer children in the streets playing hide and seek and more on a computer or a console fun to pass each stage. We may even see that desires to Santa Claus and hegemony are not soccer balls or bicycle, but video game consoles are becoming increasingly modernized.

That is why we must consider whether the industry harms social relationships, or we must set limits on use to avoid falling into the excessive reality shows a fictional world and from society as a whole.
