While watching this film I began to realize a trend that began with the popularity of the first video game, competitiveness. Video games satisfy the competitive nature of humans, thus giving them immense popularity. These games also satisfies humans in another way, imagination. While playing people can travel to far away places, become famous athletes, commit crimes, and save the day. I also am completely baffled by a lot of what I heard when they are interviewing gamers at the GD Convention. A what looked to be twelve year old boy was talking specs on his computer and it sounded like greek to me. What is also amazing is the clout that some of the video game creators had, for example the man who helped create the Atom bomb being the creator of an early tennis video game.
