Kinect
Usually new technological advances are bashed in the media because of the negative effect it can have on an individual when used improperly, such as cell phones while driving or little kids not being interactive because of video games. However, video games have come a long way. After the numbers of childhood obesity increased in recent years, software companies decided to come up with interactive games for children. Just this past weekend, I had the chance to play XBOX Kinect which is a number of games that are controller-free and allows you to use your entire body to interact with the console. Not only that but some games provide an instructor to lead you through exercises. The best part about it is you don't have to leave your house and go to the gym to get exercise, instead you can do it right in your living room. Whether you're into sports, dancing, or adventure, there is a game for all different types of interests and activities.

That always sounds nice, i just think its funny putting working-out together with video games. when i play video games i look foward to sitting back in my comfy chair, not jumping all around everywhere. my family does have a wii, and i like playing games on that, but idk about the WII Fit or the Kinect. I will have to give it a try soon!
