Yesterday I talked to my nephew. It was his birthday. He lives in another state. Well, he told me he got a Wii for his birthday.

I will be the first to admit that I don't know much about the Wii. I know it is the most popular game console out there right now. I also know that a lot of it's games are family oriented. Being able to have family time while playing a video game is very cool.

Last night I also learned that the Wii is used as therapy. My sister works in an nursing home. She told me that they use the Wii for physical therapy for some of the residents. That is really neat, using technology to help residents keep there coordination in a fun way. I just wanted to let you know that video games are not just for fun, they can be helpful too.
