Childhood obesity is one of the major health issue and governments in the developed world are looking at ways of dealing with it. Computer games are often considered as one of the culprits, because children are not exercising and spend more time in front of computers.

Nintendo wii is considered as a mile stone, in breaking the physical inactivity caused by other computer games, Instead of slumping on a couch and moving just the fingers, it encourages the children to physically to play out the actions, thanks to the build in motion sensors, which allows the player to actively control the characters and actions on screen. In addition wii remote is shaped like a wand and no wonder the children are crazy about this console. There is no doubt; this unique concept would be closely watched by others, which would inevitably lead to a healthy competition in computer games. Time is not for away for the market to be flooded with computer games that would claim to reduce particular amount of calories if that game is played for a particular amount of time.

It is not surprising for any advanced technology or innovations like ...
... this is heavily criticized. Critics claim that Nintendo is causing many injuries. Someone even coined a term called wii syndrome and many quickly set up websites which deal with this so called WII syndrome, But if you sit back and think about the so called WII related injuries, most of us will definitely agree that it is not because of WII but because of our over enthusiasm and aggressive involvement with the game. Nintendo has confirmed that the product itself is completely safe and fun to use. According to them Wii passed all safety tests and is completely fine if we use it with the guidelines they have specified. As suggested by the spoke person of Nintendo, the wii remote are responsive enough to detect minor movements and it is you to be blamed if you use it rigorously and there by getting injured.

On careful analysis of reported injuries, it is clear that the injuries to the children are minimal. Most injuries are reported in the parents who are playing with their children. As we grow old, our body cannot cope with repetitive and unaccustomed work. We need to warm up before doing prolonged or repetitive physical activities. It is our age to be blamed not the technology. The good news is that most parents have started playing games with children, which increases the bond between them. This new technology can be a milestone to tackle with obesity in children as well as in adults.

Almost all of the injuries reported are avoidable; by just following the instruction that come along with the Wii and doing some warm up exercises and giving a pause at regular intervals, it is possible to enjoy this unique and exciting technology without hurting ourselves.
