Video games began appearing in our culture about 40 years ago. When you really think about it, there is nothing new about video games. The storytelling or hand to eye coordination in many games originally started when humans first began forming into groups. Music is added to games when is a simple addition just like we have brought ancient games of strategy into an electronic version.
Just as computers and the Internet are the start of a new age similar to the Industrial Revolution (and being in the middle of it we aren't sure where it will take us), games are evolving also. What all of the end results will be can only be guessed at. The changes we can see right now is interactive worlds online, interactive movies, and educational programs.
Libraries in the future will probably be able to use games to educate the public. Staff might be able to use games as training tools (like rewards working through a visual future version of Web5.0). In the end we will still be using games to do things like relax.
