Computer card games gaining in popularity
Good evening, I'm Kerry J Harrison co-author of "Untapped Wealth Discovered."
I'd like to zoom in on a very interesting trend which seems to be growing very quickly among our young American males and by young American males I mean those ranging between the ages of 25 to 40. A recently released stat in the United States reveals that about 40% of American males between the ages of 25 to 40 admitted that they play certain types of computer games on a daily basis and to that end the types of games that they play are not video games. No! They are the card types of games ranging from Poker to Solitaire, and other types of card games. Whereas you will find more young Americans engaging in video games on a daily basis these persons in this age group are choosing to play card games and other types of board games that have been adapted for the computer. Several of these young males also admitted to playing games like chess, checkers, and similar types of games and they play these games at work during their lunch break and whenever they can.
I know that maybe about 30 to 40 years ago many persons in this age group used to play lots of card and board games among themselves and at that time card and board games were extremely popular and used to be one of the chief pastimes on weekends, curing vacation time, and even on evenings after work. Then the age of video games arrived and it appeared that card and board games were in jeopardy of being made extinct but now there is a revival of card and board games and I'm very sure that board and card game developers must be breathing a very deep sigh of relief.
I guess that the lesson to be learned from this is that one should never give up on something even if technology may seem to have pushed it out the door. What I'm saying is that even if technology may seem to have mechanized the video game industry, there is still room for our traditional board and card games. So don't give up on something even if it may appear to you that a new trend is threatening to sweep a long standing tradition out of the marketplace.
