Social trends of computer games
Computer games are games played on or with electronic devices such as gaming consoles,
smartphones, tablets, virtual reality headsets or personal computers while Computer
gaming is when a person (gamer) plays video games through electronic devices like game
consoles, mobile phone or PC. Computer gaming can also be considered a source for job
creation and developing IT skills.
The first ever gaming device was a cathode ray tube device (1947) while the first video game
Pong was introduced in 1974, which was simply a low-resolution digital tennis game. Since
the introduction, computer games have grown in popularity to the point that some of the
virtual surroundings portrayed in games now appear realistic. There have been many
gaming developments where people have been able to access computer games in different
ways.
How habits have changed over time
Arcade to Online console gaming: From arcade games people moved to online gaming on
consoles and this was because people were able to download games using their telephone
connection and a game cartridge could be plugged into their consoles, the device allowed
users to download multiple games from around the world then people moved to the newly
created consoles like Xbox, Sony due to the new computer technology that improved the
processing capabilities of new consoles.
