Do you think New Technology in Gaming is bad for Social Health?

Question

Games such as Wii games and MMORPGs such as World of Warcraft - are they ruining social interactions?

Answer 1

I don't think so. First of all Wii games are def meant for multiple players. Bowling, tennis, all of the "party" games and of course what about Rock Band? These games were meant for friends at home bored with nothing to do. Sometimes I know people that go hang out just for the purpose of playing Super Smash or Rock Band. And as for World of Warcraft, WITHOUT friends I would have no fun with that game! Me and my friends set a time to meet on and we play together (after we already went out). If my friends didn't play WoW I wouldn't have a reason to play. You need friends to do multiplayer quests and instances and such. Plus when meeting new people (in person) its a great ice breaker, if they play any of the games you mentioned above.
