How Technology Creates Opportunities For Entrepreneurs and Business

In my TINST 475 Entrepreneurship class, this topic was brought up and discussed. A technology my classmate Keith mentioned in class, that I also believe is a good, is video games. In today's society, video games are a major activity among adolescents and young adults especially in the First-Person Shooter (FPS) and Third-Person Shooter (TPS) genres. Games like Halo, Call of Duty, Rainbow Six, and Gears of War offer features such as online multiplayer that really enhance the gameplay of a game tremendously, not to mention it makes you want to get better at playing the game than your opponents.

This gets into the business side of the video game industry. If you have all of these elite players playing these elite games, you can begin to realize all of the possibilities an entrepreneur has in this industry. Hosting tournaments and providing sponsorship to these elite players are the two main activities an entrepreneur could provide. Not to mention the fact that you could get these tournaments shown on National television to further enhance your money-making business. Much is to be had in the video game industry!!
