Back in the 2D world, people were still finding themselves addicted to video games, but after a while of playing the same level over and over, peoples addiction would die down and they would lose interest in said video game. In this generation, the levels never seem to end because companies are constantly coming out with different expansion packs for the same game. The graphics are also no longer 2D and have switched themselves to 3D.
Communication with other video game players is another reason why video games have become so highly addictive. With new technology, video game companies have made it extremely possible for people to connect via a microphone in their computer and well, when you are able to connect with another person that plays the exact same online game as you, there is a sense of kinship and you never want to get offline.
Character creation is yet another reason why so many people find themselves constantly playing video games. People love a game where they can design the person/character that they are playing.
In recent games, you can design everything from the color of your characters eyes all the way to what they may be wearing and fighting their enemies with. It is a fun and fantastic experience for any gamer to be able to dress their character up how they want it.
Finally, the last reason is the game cheats. There are so many game cheats out there for every single game in the world that it is simply amazing. There are many different websites that are dedicated to game cheats and game cheats alone and those are some of the most popular websites in this day and age.
Music
Undoubtedly one of the most popular inventions of the last decade, the iPod has gone on to spawn a host of imitators that enable music fans to transport virtually their entire music collection wherever they go. Little bigger than a mobile phone, time will surely fly as you scroll through thousands upon thousands of songs. In addition, with these portable entertainment systems also able to show video and connect to the internet, there should be no reason for boredom!
Games console
Remember the original Gameboy? Or perhaps the Sega Gamegear? In their prime, these games systems were among the cutting edge of technology, allowing parents to keep their young'uns occupied during journeys. Now, with the Nintendo DS and Sony PSP taking the standard of mobile gaming to another level, adults are themselves finding that these systems can break up the boredom of their own drawn-out journeys. What's more, the PSP also allows films to be watched in high quality formats - something the Gameboy could never do!
Read
Not enough people are reading these days, or that's how it seems. What better way is there for escapism than to bury your head into literature, either classic or modern, and while away a couple of hours of your time. Books are not easy to write, so give authors a break and pick up a copy of the latest read! Unless, of course, you are like me who finds it nigh-on impossible to read in a moving vehicle!
Su Doku
Who would've thought that the crossword would be usurped as the perfect mental challenge on journeys? And by an activity that involves - albeit somewhat tenuously - maths! The phenomenon that is Su Doku has become world-renowned as the ideal activity to stimulate your mind, and what better time to take part than during a boring car journey. Remember, however, to try and sit away from other travellers else they will try and 'help'.
Conversation
Should none of the technology or materials detailed above be available, there is always the old favourite pastime of conversation. The old adage says that 'conversation is a dying art', so why not revive it and interact with those around you. Quite frankly, it's the easiest way to pass the time, and one that needs the least effort. Well, that and sleeping, I suppose.
