Date posted: May 18, 2006Updated: Oct 24, 2006 by Ted Friedman Introduction: New Paradigms, Old Lessons There was a great Nintendo commercial a few years back in which a kid on vacation with his Game Boy starts seeing everything as Tetris blocks.
Mount Rushmore, the Rockies, the Grand Canyon - they all morph into rows of squares, just waiting to drop, rotate, and slide into place. The effect is eerie, but familiar to anyone who’s ever played the game. The commercial captures the most remarkable quality of video and computer games: the way they seem to restructure perception, so that even after you’ve stopped playing, you continue to look at the world a little differently.

Virtual Society? Home Page. AJCS Volume 3 Number 1 Fiske & Watts. So West Australia's Brian Burke would take an axe to them (Daily News, 27.6.83: lead headline).
The most popular Labor premier in Australia has his finger accurately enough on the pulse of popular feeling to make an off the cuff remark on a radio talk show with the confidence that his intuition would be probably unchallenged, certainly unencumbered by thought and surely strengthening of his position as the spokesperson of the middle west of Australia. Interestingly, the press did provide some challenge to his prejudice, but only within an ideological frame closely allied to the one that produced the Premier's remarks. Mr Burke's concern that the game parlours were becoming a problem was immediately supported by two of his ministers.
Personal Home Pages and the Construction of Identities on the Web. Introduction It has been contended by media theorists such as Joshua Meyrowitz (1985) that the adoption of new media seems to involve a shifting or blurring of the boundaries of public and private.
Without adopting the stance of hard technological determinism (Chandler 1995b; 1996), we may perceive such a shift in the new genre of the personal home page on the World-Wide Web. Whilst the fundamental technical difference between the medium of speech and that of writing is that writing is automatically recorded, web pages introduce another key feature: what is written on a web page (and stored on a web-server) is automatically published on a global scale.
Web pages which are ‘personal’ are simultaneously public, and it is such ‘personal home pages’ which are the subject of this paper. Home pages are a medium in which conventional relationships between public and private are visibly in the process of transformation (Kelly 1995). Video Games and Young Players. The earliest home video game was PONG, an electronic table-tennis game which was launched in 1972 by Atari.
By the end of 1976 over 20 different companies were producing video games for home use (Provenzo 1991, pp. 8-9). By 1982 people spent more money on video games than they spent on films and records combined (Turkle 1984, p. 59). Redefining the Home Screen: Technological Convergence as Trauma and Business Plan. Every electronic media product launch or network debut carries with it an implicit fantasy scenario of its domestic consumption, a polemical ontology of its medium, and an ideological rationale for its social function.
The scattered public record of these self-representations, in the ephemeral forms of TV commercials, corporate press releases, and trade-press reporting, can offer insights into the larger contexts and implicit assumptions within which media firms operate. The current period of confusion and conflict among the would-be architects of our putative post-television age offers a productive site to investigate the ways in which wider social, technological, and political changes may deform or put into crisis such calculated representations of media apparatus and artifact. Leaders of the three dominant US networks at the height of their enormous postwar prosperity and power had their own reasons for ratifying these imagined essentialized features of the medium.

Acting out male aggression. M/C Journal. 1Computer and video games are one of the primary uses of personal computer technologies, and yet despite an increasing interest in cultural practices that are organised around computer and information technologies cultural studies has paid very little attention to this phenomenon.
In the War of Desire and Technology Allucquére Roseanne Stone comments "that there seems no question that a significant proportion of young people will spend a significant and increasing proportion of their waking hours playing computer-based games in one form or another, and so far the implications of this trend have yet to be fully addressed in academic forums" (26). This Christmas will undoubtedly follow the trend of the last few years, with video game consoles and software being the biggest toy sellers. The Actor Network Resource, Lancaster University.

A Conversation with Will Wright by Celia Pearce Conducted in Will Wright's office at Maxis, September 5, 2001 CP: What is your philosophy of interactive design? WW: Ooh, a heavy question, a philosophy question. CP: It’s a big question, but I wanted to start you talking about why you design games. What is it about the format of an interactive experience that is so compelling to you? Not 2.0? Tim Bray writes: I just wanted to say how much I’ve come to dislike this “Web 2.0” faux-meme.
It’s not only vacuous marketing hype, it can’t possibly be right. In terms of qualitative changes of everyone’s experience of the Web, the first happened when Google hit its stride and suddenly search was useful for, and used by, everyone every day. The second—syndication and blogging turning the Web from a library into an event stream—is in the middle of happening. What Is Web 2.0.
