     The article that I read today is called "On the Affects of Video Games on Social Behavior'' by  Turd Furgy and its about how video games affect peoples behaviors. In the article it states that the recent shooting school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut may have been caused because of the violent video games that are out there. That's the first thing they brought up when the incident happened.  Also in the article it proves how video games can cause problems like the school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. For example it says,"Since the late 70's, video games have become a growing trend, but some researchers say that video games may be more than just a growing trend; they may be a growing problem as well. “Paducah, Kentucky, Jonesboro, Arkansas, Littleton, Colorado, these three towns have all experienced similar multiple school shootings. The shooters were all gamers, gamers who habitually played extremely violent video games” This explains how video games have been affecting peoples behavior and different way in thinking because they believe they are playing a video game. However the video game has been growing bigger and bigger since the 1970's there's more violence then anything. Now it's more dangerous because since there is more violent video games and more little kids are going to star to play them later on in the future it will affect them.
