Open to Creativity

The advancement of electronics and video games has opened a doorway into creativity that has allowed some to experience talents and interests they never knew they had. Computers now have programs that mimic a entire recording studio, allowing amateurs at home to create music and remixes never heard before. Video games not only allow people to delve into fantasy life as shoot em' up secret agents or zombie killers and escape the pressures of school or a mundane life working 9 to 5 but there have been studies done that show video games that energize players and induce a positive mood could also enhance creativity. Other studies have shown that video games have improved people's innovativeness in the workplace, improving problem solving and collaboration efforts. It seems that being able to be a part of something that seems so big on the screen with the goal to "win" or finish helps people escape and use parts of their brains and imaginations that may have not been challenged to in every day life situations. Computers, games and the internet in general have there drawback, keeping people indoors and less active but on the upside maybe using our game solving skills helps open our brains to new situations in the real world. Encouraging people to become filmmakers or music producers or pilots, these programs allow us to step into situations we may have never had in life. Creativity empowers people to try new things and step outside the box and because of this there will always be new games and computer programs to buy.
