5. Reaction

•  I think that this is not really that big of an accomplishment. I feel people should find something better to do with their time like get a job. This event does not affect me in anyway because I have better things to do with my life besides play video games all day. There is not really an issue but it is encouraging more people to play the game. Which in turn will make more money for the company.  

6. World Impact: 6 pt.        This event does not really impact the world that much. It may cause the call of duty makers to buy some companies out and put them out of business. It will also probably cause some peoples vision to get worse because they are starring at a T.V screen all day. It may cause the obesity rate to go up because kids are not going out side and playing as much. Which can cause the death rate to go up.
