  1. I think that this should be an exhibit in the Smithsonian, as this is a part of our history. This technology has changed the way our world functions.

  3. I think that video games should be apart of the Smithsonian because it would be interesting to see the types of video games and the impact different ones have on people. It would also be cool to see the graphics and technology behind the making of video games.

  10. I dont think they should. there is already a problem with obesity and we dont need to encourage fat people to sit on theit butts and play more video games

  11. I think it is a good idea because video games and technology have become a huge part of American culture and should be recognized as more than just games

  12. I think that adding a video game exhibit to the museums would be a smart idea. Everyone of all ages enjoys playing video games and could benefit from this exhibit. Having this exhibit would show how video games were created and how they evolved to what they now are today. i think i would be interesting for young people especially young boys to learn about what they are playing.

  13. I think some Video Games should be exhibited as some video games definintly do count as art. Some video games tell intricate stories to rival the best movies and are art in my opinion while other games are just senselessly violent and are no more an art form than your average gruesome horror movie.

  14. Our society has moved into an era of technology, and art has progressed as well. Computer design provides some of the most spectacular visual displays. Thus, the graphic art found in video games is in fact an artistic piece and would be suitable for the Smithsonian.

  15. I think this is a good idea because you could see how newer technology impacts the game, and you could see how the older games differ from the newer ones.

  16. I think the video game exhibit is a very good idea, because creating all these images and interactive software is art, and hard work. Movie directors and artists get awarded for their work, why not gamers?

  18. I think this is a good idea because it helps people learn more about technology in a fun way. It will interest people more to learn things, while playing video games.

  19. I believe that video games should not be part of the exhibit because video games are not that big of history. Like the Nintendo 64 since it wasn't a big part of history, why should it be part of the museum?

  20. I think this is a awesome idea. People can see the way games have changed and even the way the game systems have changed.

  21. I don't think that a video game exhibit is necessary because the effect of video on kids is a negative one. Kids are playing more video games and getting less physical activity and this is just encouraging it. The money could also be used for something else that has had a greater impacted our world.

  24. I don't believe that the video game exhibit is a significant part of our history. The money required to add this exhibit could better be spent on the maintenence of other more important exhibits.
