Video Games and Educational Applications

There are video game applications that are free and then there are video games that cost money.  I would like to take a survey to find out how many people are paying for games and how many would never pay for a game.  Just to know.  Then there are games that are free but they have ads.  A person can pay to have the ads removed.  Are the ads that annoying that it is worth the cost to get rid of them?  Some free video games or educational applications could cost more money if you want to continue to play.  There are even games that you get for free and then can pay to get more to help advance you in a game.  Is that cheating?

Before the phone games were around there were Arcade games that cost a quarter.  The older folks remember them. The arcades were full of people playing them and even lines for certain games. This was a big business.  And now it is through the computers and phones.

What is next?  Probably virtual games or educational types of ways to learn.  At some point we should be able to play a game where we are actually in them.  Or educational applications that make learning more fun and entertaining.  Imagine being able to visit a country that is in your home.  I know nothing is like the real thing, but it can possibly help give you a better understanding.  You could have a teacher infront of a blackboard in your house going over a subject from a class and then interact with you.  Again you will be able to get the free version that is limited or pay for a version with no ads.

3D games and educational applications are coming.  By the time you are reading this you might already be using 3D games that pop out at you.  Certain movies are great to see in 3D and the same is going to be for playing games.  Now instead of something that you had to tap on a keyboard or on your phone to get points, the picture will be right infront of you.

There will be robots that will challenge us physically and mentally.  It could cost money for the robot or the robot could be free and then cost money to use.  You could even be using the robot for free and then your robot could be displaying or voicing ads.

You used to have to leave your home to play a game or get educated, now you do it on a phone anywhere.  A lot more is coming and we are ready...
