The Wii..

          The Wii, the Wii has become over the last couple of years very popular for its advance game experience but it didn't stop there. In previous post Ive talked to you on how we as individuals have made technology something we need for our daily lives, and the Wii is just another example of it. The Wii is a very popular video game device where instead of just sitting down pressing the buttons on the control to play the game its created so the individual could take part in the game by physically performing the moves like if they were really in the video game. Aside from giving users this experience of being part of the game instead of just playing it, one could also exercise with it. Yes we could exercise using the Wii!! 

          Replacing the way we exercise, from going to gym, or going jogging, or ridding a bike to standing in front of the TV and playing an exercise game is really interesting. In the article "We turn to Wii to lose weight instead of real exercise" by Ryan Book he points out how this Wii Fit game replaces the going to a gym and exercising. In this game one is able to see how realistic it may be, where it asks you specific questions that would help narrow down what ones body looks like, ones BMI, and how much weight one need to loose to be healthy. Other than the game calculation this game allows individuals to actually participate in exercise activities. As Book mentions this game can motivate individuals in exercising more, which is great. Yet this may affect us in the way we take care of ourselves. As I previously mentioned the Wii has replace the use of a gym to exercise with a simple game that tell how fit we are.
        
          Although this game may help individuals in developing a healthier life I think it's a little different to do something out doors than to do it standing in from of your own TV, what do you think?
