Video games was once viewed as just for kids or young adults. The Nintendo Wii has definitely changed that opinion. As discussed on USAtoday, older folks are now investing in the Wii!
Here's a clipping off the news today:
"Health issues forced Ted Campbell, 79, to give up real bowling in 1965. But Campbell, a resident of the Greenspring retirement community in Springfield, Va., bowls all the time now — on a Nintendo Wii video game system in a bowling league he organized at Greenspring.
Seniors like Campbell are helping dispel an age-old stereotype: that folks getting up in years have little or no interest in the latest technology. Video games, PCs, cellphones and such can help keep minds and bodies sharp. Tech companies are starting to pay closer attention to the mature market, and to folks with physical disabilities."
