The gaming industry is said to be a multi-billion dollar industry with an even brighter future. No doubt it has its marks well set. All you need are young adults with some defective brain part and a load of unwanted money to get the wheels of fortune running full speed. What do computer games develop, apart from finger dexterity and a soar butt? A hole in the pocket for sure.

As with any other addiction, the younger you start the better. With the little mouse, a small kid can play a computer game. A few years down the line, and you have potential customers hooked up and ready to go bring money for you from momma.

There is a lot of variety to choose from when it comes to gaming software. The more choices the better, as it creates an impression of a vast and burgeoning industry, all legitimate and fair. Arcade games, board games, mystery games, shooting games, adventure and romance games, the list is endless.

How different was the world in the pre-computer and pre-video world. There was only one place to enjoy, and that was outdoors in open surroundings. There was adventure in climbing trees and getting injured, rather than making a cartoon climb an obstacle with a button click. There was more adventure going out biking to discover unknown places, rather than making a silly cartoon run around moving the mouse. There was fun jumping into streams and wading through small rivers, rather than all this being shown on the monitor. Online games allow us to expend our energy into doing futile tasks.

There are however some positive aspects to online gaming software. It is so easy to play a game of chess online with others, or with a computer. This has been a revolution in the game. Board games can be played with ease with people across the world allowing us to chat with them at the same time. Nothing like this could have been imagined possible a few decades back.
