Many people find time to every day to watch TV, no matter how busy their schedules are. Although TV may become unhealthy if too much time is spent watching it, it does provide a means for relaxation. People just need to be careful about how much time they spend "relaxing.".

             Another way people spend their leisure time is by playing video games. There are numerous commercials on every day for video games. One particular commercial showed a teen-aged boy playing his Sony Playstation until his eyes were popping out of his head. This commercial showed how this specific game was irresistible, maybe even addictive. There are many games out there that have this affect on people. Hours upon hours are spent playing video games. A lot of kids can play the same day all day and all night without being fatigued, but most have many more to choose from. There is Sony Playstation, Nintendo 64, and Sega Dreamcast just to name a few. There are also hundreds of games available for any PC. There are more than enough games to keep any young kid entertained for a lifetime. Although video games are most popular to the younger generation, many adults are beginning to catch onto the craze. Most adults are probably taking the games a lot more seriously than the kids are. There are bets being placed on the games, mainly sports games. .

             Video games have come a long way in the last couple decades. Twenty years ago the hottest thing out was Atari. This was the first machine that allowed people to insert a cartridge which enabled them to different games of their choice. Some of the famous games included Donkey Kong and Pac Man. The makers of these games didn"t realize what would become of the video gaming industry later. Today companies are competing to come out with a system with the best graphics and sound to make their games seem the most realistic. Today systems also allow people to do more than just play games.
