Week 7.

This week’s lecture involved the topic of gaming, which I can admit now, is not a strong suit of mine.

Tutorial Task: 1.

·         The first game I played? I’m quite confident it would have been Sonic the Hedgehog on Sega, but I wasn't much of a ‘gamer’ then and not much has changed throughout the years.

·         My favourite game? I wouldn't necessarily say I have a favourite because I don’t play games enough for that, but I have enjoyed various GTA (Grand Theft Auto) games. 

·         There’s no chance I would call myself a gamer, I simply have no interest in playing games for hours on end. I don’t see the appeal in games really, on console or otherwise and half the reason is probably because I’m a sore loser anyway.

·         I can easily say that I haven’t yet found a game that has made me feel like I were spending too much time playing it, I get bored after an hour or two if that.

·         Games most certainly do have an adverse effect on some of its players, seeming as how quite a few individuals over the years have died from gaming too much. 

2. The next task was to have my topic for my written essay approved and I have chosen the ever intriguing topic of social media and whether it impacts the health of young people due to extensive use.
