Module 3 Rhymes of History
After viewing the Rhymes of History video from Dr. Thornburg I thought of how I use to play various games as a child with my friends. My friends and I use to get together and play board games all the time on weekends. In order to play the games we would have to meet up and decide what to play. This was a common human interaction for years. However, when I was a child I also had an Arari 2600 and eventually a Nintendo. When my friends could not come over I could interact with a game and play against the computer. Now people can play games with their friends while sitting in front of their own tv or computer via an Internet connection. There is even electronic versions of the board games I grew up on that can be played not only with your friends, but anyone online throughout the world. Here is a website for playing Monoploly (my favorite board game) online. http://videogames.lovetoknow.com/wiki/Play_Monopoly_Online

Burian, Your post brought back a lot of childhood memories for me. The first video game I remember playing was Pac Man and I think I was in college or preparing to go to college. I still prefer the board games though. I enjoy the interaction with others.
