“Be the change you want to see in the world”



The Nintendo Wii, which was released November 19, 2006, is a video game system in which players have the ability to move like the characters they are playing.  For example, I am playing a tennis game.  Instead of pushing a button, I know have the ability to swing my arms like a normal racquet.  Studies have shown that students studying to become a doctor have shown a 48% improvement on their surgical-techniques if they played the Wii.  In addition, last year my physic class studied the movement of the ball, the resistance with the grass, and so forth on the WiiGolf.   We would calculate data based off what we observed.  At the end of the experiment, we then compared and contrasted the Wii Golf to real life.
