In the beginning of games there was the ping pong game with a black screen and white cube. But now games have changed and games are even inspiring movie makers and being shown on the big screens at movie theaters and even in film festivals. Film and television directors are also entering the world of video game designing. Gaming artwork has become its own artistic genre and is even being showing in exhibits and galleries.


There is all kinds of places to get educated to help you learn video game design. More then 200 American colleges, universities and technical schools offer programs and courses in video game design. Games are opening windows to other countries that are having hard times, or just completely different. They let us see what its like or what’s going on even though we will never be able to go there or do not have the opportunity to it teaches us to appreciate other cultures and countries.
Video games are also being used to teach kids many things. Some games teach kids about world hunger, the environment, how to count, read, Internet safety, bullying and many other things. Video games teach people many things, and although there are some made for pure entertainment there are also many that are made to help educate the world about issues, and politics and many other things. Games can range from being for kids that are 3 through your whole adult hood, and games will continue to me made, and as long as games are around there will be a fun way for kids and adults to be educated.
