Video gaming is the act of playing electronic games on a screen using a controller, keyboard, or phone.

It began in the 1970s with arcade classics like Pong and Pac-Man. Over time, home consoles (Nintendo, PlayStation, Xbox), PCs, and mobile phones made gaming popular worldwide.

Games come in many types — action, adventure, sports, racing, puzzles, and simulation. People play for fun, learning, competition, and even as a career in esports.

Today, video gaming is more than entertainment — it’s part of global culture, connecting millions of players through consoles, mobile, PC, online platforms, and virtual reality.
