I can happily credit technology with the fact that it has
helped me form strong friendships that I can only hope will last a
lifetime. In this case video games being
that form of technology (geeky I know!) Through the gift that is the internet,
millions of people including myself, can wirelessly connect to each other from
across the world and share experiences with each other that would otherwise be
impossible 50 years ago. For those of you who don’t know much about video games
and such, I would highly recommend you divert from this blog post to another
post less childish than this one. During my 8th grade year at Tates
Creek Middle school, one of the gnarliest video games of all time came out.
That game being Halo 4. I’m not going to go into too much detail considering
that if you are still reading this article you more than likely know of this
game. Any Halo game is a multiplayer powerhouse, Halo 4 being no exception,
meaning the more people you have the better the experience, as most social
events are in life. That being said, I needed some people to play with and just
so as it happened another person at Tates Creek Middle needed one too, I won’t
name this individual as I did not ask him if I could share this story. My new
found friend and I played this game for hours every week, on weekends playing
until the break of dawn fueled by Mountain Dew. As you can imagine this level
interaction formed a strong bond between the two adolescents, one that still
lasts to this day. People hate on video game, which is understandable in SOME
cases, but games are so much more than just a time waster, they help build
lasting relationships and of course are incredibly fun.
