The new media technology

The new media technology is making us sit at home playing computer games or watching TV programs. And the people behind it are doing a very good job and a very bad one to.


I have experience both good and bad, when it comes to computer games. So I am going to focus on that part in the media chaos.

First I am going to present some different computer games.

World of Warcraft” is the number one on the list; this game is a whole new world. It is an online game that makes it possible for people around the whole world to communicate. The game is better known as WoW, it has extremely good graphic, and is just a whole new world experience.

Another game is “CS”, when this game was realised to the public it was loved. The graphics were good and the whole idée of team work was great. But of cores some did not like it at all, because of the violence.

The game is about killing other teams and surviving.


So now I have talked about two games “World of Warcraft” that is about getting up in levels and getting stronger and “CS”, the game that is about killing to survive. The last game I am going to present is an IQ game. It is called “The longest journey”; this is not an online game. This is a game that makes you think and it is all just a journey. You play a character with the name April Ryan and you are going to play her the whole time. There is not violence in this game; it is just built up to make you think more.


The problem with all of the games I have presented is that you can become addicted to it. And by getting addicted you can lose friends and even family. You begin to live in your own little world with your own time.

By doing this you can also get in really bad shape, because you’re just sitting in front of the computer all day long. It can ruin your life. But online games can also get you new friends from around the world, and you learn other languages.

Playing computer games is also a hobby for many people, it is a way to take a break from the real world and go into the cyber network.


But personal, I am not a big fan of computer games, I have tried many but I know what it can do with people.

It has already done it to many of my friends and family, so I personally don’t like computer games that much. But I understand why people play; it is fun and a new way of playing card or football. The violence in the games is not good, but to be perfectly honest you see more violence, death and destruction on the TV programs about Iraq then you see on “World of Warcraft”, “CS” or “The Longest Journey”.


Therefore at last I am going to say computer games are bad, but it is not the source of violence, death and destruction. The source to that is us.
