Gaming has evolved immensely over the past century, transitioning from simple hand games and outdoor activities like hopscotch to complex video games. Initially, games expressed basic human nature and social interactions, played physically without technology. The creation of the first video game, "Tennis for Two," in 1958 marked the beginning of a new era. The 1980s saw the rise of online gaming with iconic titles like Pac-Man. Today, gaming is dominated by 3D experiences on consoles, but this shift has led to reduced outdoor play among youth.
