the discovery channel

i’m watching the discovery channel as i’m writing this blog, and they’re having a special on online video games. everyone’s talking about how amazing being connected has been. the vice president of lucasarts just said, “the internet has definitely changed the way we make games.” the funny thing is, i’m not too fased by all of it. yeah, it’s great to play with or against my friends, but i think it’s mostly the older generation of gamers that are affected by this internet shock. i feel, and i’m sure other gamers my age feel this way too, that since we grew up with the internet and have watched it grow along with us. the point i’m trying to make is, connectivity is just another thing that today’s gamers and in fact all teens take for granted. the generation after us was already born into the internet, and i think it will be so intertwined with their lives that it will just seem natural to have a constant connection to the rest of the world.
