Problems solved by technology

Modern video games consume many processing and storage resources, mainly since the games usually involve progressive 3D (three dimensions) computer graphics and sound effects.

For example, a collision between the player's car and another object causes the graphical representation of the car to change, and will also typically induce some other change in the game experience, for example by altering the performance of the car and / or loss of credits in the game.

Nevertheless, most communal activities are very shallow.

As a result gaming communities are far from showing their full potential.
