digital nation part 2

After completing the video I was really educated on what technology is doing to us as a society. I was very shocked at the place where kids would go and play video games that had to do with war. I think that the reaction people had about it was a little too serious and not necessary. The games are not there to teach them how to fight, and the kids said it themselves that they know that the video games are not like what it is really like to be at war. To be shut down for that is ridiculous and no one would actually feel that they are trained enough to fight in a war based on the skills they have from playing a video game.
 Another part of the video that grabbed my attention was the amount of people who play video games. People play these games and have relationships with the people they are playing with and they have never met these people before in there lives. These people will play these games for years and never know what the other person looks like until they see each other at an annual convention. It fascinated me as a viewer to see these people at the conventions and how they could meet a significant other through the video games.
