Video games

9.Video games
Compare the sketchy graphics of Atari’s classic Pong, born in 1972, with the hellishly realistic violence of 2010′s Medal of Honor and it is bewildering how the technology behind this massive industry has advanced. Add the fact you can play via broadband against an opponent on the other side of the planet and you can’t help but be impressed. And with the invention of the Wii and Xbox’s Kinect, gaming has answered its critics who claimed the technology was turning us into lard arses, by introducing games that instead get our hearts pumping.
