online gaming

My little brother is a huge online gamer, myself personally i dont see the appeal. The big game out now seems to be World of War Craft, where you have a character that you use online and play with other individuals from anywhere in the world. That alone doesnt bother me, so you're playing a game online with other people, no harm there. However recently my brother has purchased a microphone which he has hooked up to the computer. With this microphone, he talks to his friends that are playing World of Warcraft with him online at the time. I suppose that it isnt enough to be able to communicate to online gamers by typing your commands and having them appear on the screen during gameplay. And the point of this blog isnt to put down my brother or others who play online games, to me it is just another display on how lazy we have become. When it gets to the point where kids dont even want to type responses, or commands but instead they have to use a microphone to communicate. It is also pretty amazing to see how far electronic communications have come in a matter of years. The fact that you can talk to someone anywhere in the world through your computer through a video game.
