Within the space of a few decades, video game technology has changed beyond recognition. From basic single-player computer games involving simple stick controls, we can now manipulate the movements of computer game characters with our bodies. We can even invite other people from anywhere in the world to join us in online games. So how might gaming evolve in the next few decades? The average age of gamers has risen to about 30 in recent years. Experts agree that this trend is likely to continue.

More and more games are designed to need very little pressing of buttons. Games of the future may even be completely voice- activated. Because of this user-friendliness, game designers are trying to appeal to a whole new market the middle-aged. We may soon see the release of games with themes such gardening or cookery. The younger generation, however, can push themselves harder with more serious gaming and they expect games to become a lot more physical in the future. There are already some games that sense the movement of any part of the body. Soon, games consoles will even be adapted to the way we feel through our facial expressions. Some games will feel more real than ever through the use of 3D imagery. Today's most advanced video games are played in the home, but it is already common for people to continue playing them wherever they go via their phones or similarly-sized gadgets. Businesses could even try to take advantage of this, couldn't they? They could start advertising within games that are being played by people in their target groups, those who live in certain areas or by people with particular tastes.
