Computer games are changing rapidly. Graphics are becoming more lifelike, soundtracks are just like those in the movies, and you can play games with people all over the world.
Using software and presentation methods of your own choice be ready to tell us how you think computer games will evolve over the next 50 years.
Consider:
•How will they change from popular games of today like Grand Theft Auto and The Sims?
•How will you be controlling your movements in the game? Today you use handheld controllers, in the future will you have sensors attached all over your body? Maybe you will have a direct link to your brain.
•Will games be like virtual reality? Will it actually feel as if you are there? Will we still need to go out? Will we be able to get all the entertainment we need from computer games?
