WiiConsole and Remote //(Bottom)// Wii Packaging and Box //(Top)//  Nintendo Logo //(Below)// Wii, which was developed by Nintendo in 2006, is a video game console. Although Wii competes with several other gaming systems, it is distinguished by its hand-held, wireless remote. This remote is required to play all games and is used as a pointer and to detect motions. The Wii console allows people of all ages to participate in motion-controlled Wii games. The Wii enables you to surf the web, read both the local and worldwide news, view the weather forcast in any major city, and play games. The Wii remote is made of accelerometers, or small molecules that rest on a charged chip. When you move the remote, it causes these molecules to roll as well, transmitting the action to a receiver. The receiver then sends a signal to the Wii console, resulting in a number of possible outcomes in the game you are playing. The controller connects to the Wii console using Bluetooth technology. The Wii console consists of plastic, metal, and silicon. Nintendo guarantees to fix all Wii products.

Wii Remote //(Above)// You are completely in charge of the Wii because it tracks your body movements. The Wii has no regular behavior and works similarly to a computer. The Wii extends or amplifies you by tracking your motions. You can watch funny replays of yourself dancing to a featured song while playing "Just Dance." The Wii reduces or diminishes you because playing Wii games requires minimal concentration and thinking. In addition, one may become addicted to a Wii game and spend an excess amount of time each day playing the game instead of completing something more productive such as reading. Wii Logo //(Above)// My parents and grandparents did not have a Wii at my age, since it had not yet been invented. Instead, my parents grew up with an electronic gaming system called Atari. It was a very old-fashioned game console which allowed two people to play three different sports games. They spent the rest of their time reading and playing outside.

Atari Game //(Above)// Many middle school students, my friends included, own Wii consoles. To my knowledge, no one whom I admire owns a Wii. My family does not consider the Wii important since it is not an necessity. However, we do agree that it is a nice recreational activity in which the whole family can participate. I do not normally talk about my Wii; it is not one of my major interests.



The Wii encourages physical activity to a certain extent while playing Wii sports games. However, the Wii discourages you from spending more of your free time reading, completing homework, interacting with others, or playing outside in the nice weather. The need for the technology is created, instead of real, because owning a Wii is not essential. Therefore, although commercials or advertisements may say that everyone should own a Wii, but this is just an opinion, not a proven fact. The Wii is sold to you through media and friends' recommendations. Many Wii games are advertised on television and online, sparking a person's interest and enticing him or her to buy them. If your friends discuss how much fun they have playing with their Wii's, you have an inclination to own one yourself.



The Wii has a lasting impact on many aspects of daily life. For example, the Wii affects the environment because it is made of two natural resources, silicone and metal. The Wii also uses electricity, which is generated from fossil fuels. There is no easy way to "recycle" electronics, thus, contributing to the overall amount of waste in landfills. The Wii promotes exercise, as well. However, when Wii is played excessively and regular exercise is non-existant, weight gain can occur. The Wii can have up to four players participating in a game at one time, providing hours of fun with your family and strengthening the bond you share with others. By playing Wii excessively, you can reduce the time spent completing homework, most likely leading to a drop in your grades. If you successfully complete a Wii game, you will feel a sense of pride due to your accomplishment. Therefore, this can boost your self-confidence. In addition, There are educational games created for the Wii, such as Sudoku, word games, and math games. The interactive practice of these skills should enhance them. Finally, scientists, by modifying the technology incorporated in the Wii, can invent better electronics to improve our technologically advanced world. One improvement I believe would be beneficial would be the capability for the Wii to play a DVD. In summary, I enjoy the Wii very much, even though it is not essential to daily life. The Wii is very user-friendly and fun to play on a rainy day.
