“Gaming in the Modern World”
In the 21st century, technological advancements are becoming more and more prevalent in many countries, especially the United States. Technology can be subdivided into multiple categories such as machines, clothes, and vehicles, the main focus of many people being digital technology. In this case I am referring specifically to video games. The topic of overplaying videogames is quite frequently debated between those who believe video games are a waste of time, and the gamers themselves. Although video games might take up a lot of time, I believe that they should be played more often because they provide entertainment for all ages, immerse players in entirely new worlds, give some players a highly competitive setting, …show more content…

Gaming can often put players in a new reality and objectives that one could only dream of doing
