On Twitter this a.m. I found out that online gaming has passed e-mail as the second-most popular activity online. The Washington Post article mentions that social networking is still the #1 online activity but is this only scary to me??
The article does pay homage to the type of guy I referenced in the title. And since this class is mostly women I'm hoping to slide by with a brief jab in the side of those guys who spend endless hours playing video games long into their 30's...no, it's not hot. But now THAT guy, and your friends (and likely my friends) are spending more time playing online games than most anything else? And since everyone is connected to online activities 24/7 these days, that means some people may spend more time playing online games than most other activities!
I can see it now: You spend XX hours sleeping, XX hours watching TV and XXXXX hours playing online games in your lifetime.
Weird. Are the games really that interesting? Are people getting smarter through Farmville? Help!

Totally agree! I'm not surprised that social media is #1, but it's incredible to me that people are gaming more than they are checking their email. I think as platforms start to integrate more and more pieces of what we do online, gaming will start to incorporate email, Facebook, Twitter, blogging...all into one site.
Isn't that still so strange?? I need a game to be incentivized to open my email?? Nuts!
