Humans have searched out fun for centuries. Chariot races. Dueling crickets. Roller coasters. Rubik's Cubes. It seems we've always had…
a knack for finding interesting ways to have a good time. Of course, it wasn’t always that way. Our earliest ancestors had to worry more about survival than finding something to do in their free time. But as we evolved and daily living got a little easier, we began to think a bit more about entertainment. In Are We Having Fun Yet?, readers follow the evolution of fun. It started simply, with storytelling by a fire. Soon it grew into activities like banquets, spectator sports, theater and fairs, to name just a few. Today huge theme parks attract thrill-seekers and people step into virtual worlds for fun. And that’s just scratching the surface. With things like virtual reality, fidget spinners and global phenomena like Pokémon Go, who knows what the future of fun will hold!

¿Por qué a la gente le gusta jugar? Bueno, muchos millones de profesionales y padres preocupados se han estado haciendo…
esta misma pregunta durante al menos cincuenta años. Cuando los videojuegos comenzaron en los años setenta, la mayoría de la gente los veía como un poco de diversión, pero a medida que la locura se afianzaba, incluso en esa década, los intelectuales y educadores comenzaron a llamarlo “una estúpida distracción” y a los jugadores “tontos”. Esto continuó hasta hace relativamente poco tiempo, y se escribieron millones de palabras despectivas sobre los videojuegos y los jugadores. Sin embargo, la marea ahora está cambiando, y los ‘expertos’ están pontificando sobre los aspectos positivos de los juegos para los jugadores… incluso para los más jóvenes. Mientras este debate se arremolinaba a su alrededor, los jugadores seguían con lo que más les gustaba hacer: jugar videojuegos. Mucho se ha escrito acerca de por qué los juegos conquistaron a la juventud de los setenta y por qué ahora, a personas de todas las edades les encanta jugar. A algunos les gusta el juego de roles, a otros les gusta la asunción de riesgos virtuales y a otros les gusta perfeccionar habilidades que normalmente no usarían. Algunos incluso sueñan con unirse a las delgadas filas de los jugadores de élite millonarios. Sea cual sea el motivo, ¡que disfrutes mucho tiempo de tu afición y que la Fuerza te acompañe! La información en este libro electrónico sobre varios tipos de juegos, video, computadora, arcade y temas relacionados está organizada en 16 capítulos de aproximadamente 500 a 600 palabras cada uno. Como beneficio adicional, le doy permiso para utilizar el contenido en su propio sitio web o en sus propios blogs y boletines, aunque es mejor si primero los vuelve a escribir con sus propias palabras.
