I think that video games are going to be a great tool in the future and slightly in the present. We just need to get more people in higher power to realize that video games can be helpful. More and more people are actually understanding that a more fun way of learning and educating is more likely to hold the attention. Also, more of the retaining of information happens when the learning process is fun. It is also good to know that there are games out there on the market that are not very helpful and cannot be used in any sort of learning atmosphere. Most games can be used for something either in the classroom or out in the battle field. Video games are the learning style and tool that our kids are going to be using in the classroom.
