Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft are the three major online
gaming names which everyone has heard of. These systems have greatly influenced
the way in which we use the internet and thus its growth, by allowing gamers to
challenge someone around the world to a game which communicating between
themselves as they do so.
A lot of the games you play now are either on Xbox live,
which has a grand total of 20 million users, or the PlayStation network which
has 17 million users. These networks offer co-operative play where you can
group up with a load of friends or a group of people you have never met before,
and work towards a common cause.
This technology has had a massive impact on the social
growth of the internet because it has allowed people to make friends who share
the same hobby as you – online gaming. However, it can be a verbally abusive
thing to be involved in because of the anonymous player who like to use their
screen name as a shield.
