Video Games: A New Experience

Video Games. We've all played some, one time or another. Ever since the early 70s when Atari first released Pong has a commercial video game, the gaming industry has always been one of the biggest industries technology has seen. Today, we see the progression of gaming technology with games accessible on your mobile device to stepping into your own virtual reality. In my research paper, I will be discussing the history of video gaming and how the evolution of modern gaming impacts society--either positively or negatively.

    I think you have a great topic that is different from the rest of the social networking ideas. I look forward to seeing what you find in your research because as you mentioned, video games have come such a long way from the first and simplest game.

    I think you will find a lot of articles swaying in either direction with this subject. There are a lot of people who think video games can either lead to violence or laziness. On the other hand there are people who speak of research that has been done pointing at how people who for example play first person shooters can notice smaller details in real life.

Advice

One piece of advice I would suggest by using new media is to utilize it in order to collaborate both students and faculty members. Blogs and wikis can be used to update everyone on events that are happening that day or week.  If blogs and wikis are set up where you have to interact with other people’s work, it’s a push to help you get to know each other. There are many times when people just go to class and literally don’t talk to anyone, but if you see the person that has been commenting on your work that could then start an in-person conversation. Another way to use new media is to make some kind of account for every club, team, and group on campus, whether it is an Instagram account, Facebook, Twitter, etc. This way the students and faculty can follow the pages and get updates about all the information these groups have to offer.
