With changing times, everything around the world and around us is changing. Everything is available at a click of a button. With these changing times, there has been lot of changes in children’s toys too. I remember when we were young we use to play more of outdoor games, but with the launch of new Wii and playstation games you can play the same games which once upon a time were only to be played outdoors at the comfort of your AC room. First the books were the only source of knowledge. Now we have CD’s and DVD’s which have made learning so simple and attractive for small kids. Kids of 3-4 years are on the computers playing there compact disks and learning.
It is very good that we are advancing and we have all high tech gadgets, but some where I feel that we are loosing our kid’s innocence at a very early age. That’s my view, what’s yours.
Did anyone think such a day would come? Gaming consoles has strictly been kids only territory. I beg your pardon, kids and some adults. But today with the Nintendo Wii all is set to change. Have a look at the attached video.
For the first time in known history a gaming console helps in losing weight then to turn people into (couch) potatoes! I think its one of the best innovations of the technology era! With computers and new gadgetry making people more lethargic this console keeps them physically active.
Tackling obesity, A whole new dimension to keeping fit. I’d have never thought of this, but all those housewife’s who barely get time off to spend on their health, which is a great excuse to get fat for one; instead of spending their afternoons watching soap operas they could play a game of tennis! On the same note all of us who would really like to play some sport but our lifestyles don’t allow it this are quite perfect! Not evening leaving the living room! Burning over half the amount of calories they would burn in a regular game of tennis. Which is great.. You could if you want leave the AC on and not burn any calories, keep the weight you know, one never knows when it could come in handy, if by some chance you need to hibernate for the winter …
Oh come on! I’m only joking, all you people who need to get fit.. Get moving!! Click here for a Wii weight loss study link.
Looking at this console if either you are a youngster or close to the reaper, its all benefits. It’s much cheaper and tiny compared to a home gym, for starters it doesn’t take up a whole room! See that picture for instance, that old lady playing bowling, that photo is from an old age home, fantastic isn’t it? For the youngsters too instead of wasting away in front of a pc or their televisions this is way healthier. If it is for all of them it certainly is for you too!
