Wii Fit

Anyways, it struck me as funny how we find these things (Xbox, Wii, playstation, etc.) so much fun when there is really NO point to doing them. There is absolutely nothing gained from playing Mario, but millions of people do it everyday. It’s just interesting I guess.

Well first of all, since when is having fun useless? Second of all many video games actually provide good problem solving skills.

You could probably argue something about activating the reward centers of the brain too which is probably what people get addicted to.
