Technology, Enhancing the game

A lot of people take for granted the way that we watch football today. I challenge people to watch a game on TV from the 80’s, you’ll be surprised on how much different the game looks but for the people in person it doesn’t look any different because it’s being played live. This has come about because of advances in technology. Technology has improved the game in tons and tons of ways. HD television has brought the game closer to home, by making the picture better so people can see all the best angles of the game from the comfort of their living room. It has made the game safer. Pads are being more customized to fit the individual person and then if the player does get banged up medical and physical therapy advancements have really helped players get better faster and it has helped them stay healthy. Technology is used on sports center to help predict how games will play out or to reflect on certain plays that have already happened. They use Madden football games to help reenact the actual game that happened as best that they can.
        Technology has made the game better, faster, and more accessible for the fans that don’t have the ability to get stadium to actually watch the game. The following video is a short clip from a ad for the new 2010 madden videogame. This clip is just a brief insight to how technology not only makes games better but it helps fans connect with the game easier and it keeps fans interested longer.
