Journal Entry question for EVERYONE!
There has been quite a bit of hype surrounding the new Ninetendo Wii gaming system. Some say that the Wii's ability to "democratize" gaming for people of all ages and abilities is revolutionary. Do you think this is a true technological revolution or just hype? Please defend your opinion.

I believe that the new Wii system by nintendo is not new technology and is pure hype. They have been able to do these sorts of things since the game "duck Hunt" they just made it a different game. because of this i find that the Wii system is a huge waste of money and time trying learn a new system.

What do you like/dislike about the project?


What i like about this project is that it makes you feel like a famous event is happening with many celebrities. It gives you a sence that something big is happening, or about to happen, and makes you want to join in on the festivities. what i dislike about this peice is that it keeps you wondering about if this event is real or not. I find this quite distracting when you are trying to focus on units and cant help but wonder what is happening in the world.
