after the presentations

We finished our presentations, interesting to see the viewpoints. It goes without saying that the topics were chosen based on personal preference, but it was interesting to see how the individual affected the information being presented. The perspectives on games varied from historical, , personal, commercial, educational, artistic. It impresses the idea that games mean different things to different people. For some they're a career choice, a passion or nostalgia.
The study of games reveals more paths and facets than can easily be explored, but I have begone to consider the place of the medium in society. What has traditionally been an insular area has seen an explosion in interest, the ongoing question is, are games living up to their potential?
