I decided to change the book that I took for the library, because from what I read, it shows me one thing about the topic. In the book they focus just in the profits of the movies and some for video games that no one played them anymore. So I will go back to this book ''Mind At Play’’, because I found a lot of sources about video games.
In this book there a lot stories about the people who play video games.
Is it fun to play video games? Sure it is, but not always .It could be wasting time like what did happen for a young lady in the airport, she was waiting her flight. She decided to play a quick game of Pac-man. Before she knew it, she was hooked; Pac-man took her for every last quarter she had. She was like not yet having the feeling of the game, so she tried again. She did a little better this time. Once the person plays game he or she thinks that he or she could win. So if someone is able to break the habit before it breaks him or her. So she couldn't stop. And she missed her fight because of Pac-man game.
Pac-man is one of the games that hook people, and it’s very old game and simple. What about the games in these days with a good graphics they would attract people to play them all the time.
Here are some difference or to show the different between wasting time and having fun on playing video games. Here is an example how video games wasting the time, it very simple; video games that do something to make a player feel good will played again and again. You can't control them, even they can't control themselves , and that’s how they become addictive. The author Likened Pac-man game to all of the gamed and he said ''Pac-man hooks only those people who confuse victory with slow defeat ''
