Online Gaming

In recent years online gaming has taken the next step in being the prolific activity that teens and even some adults take action in. Before you could game online, you had to be in the same room as the opponent to play. Now you can be across the country and still play against your opponent. It is amazing how far technology has came as far as being able to play against anyone in the country. One way I feel like online gaming can do even better is adding a visual screen of your opponent. As of now the most communication you can have with your opponent is being able to talk to them over a microphone headset. Which is still awesome, but to add that next step they should add a visual screen option. Being able to play against other gamers around the country makes playing video games awesome because it gives the whole world a chance to compete with each other at a high level.

    I agree that it is amazing how far online gaming has come in our lifetime alone. Now that anyone in the world with an internet connection can play, online game producers are able to make their product more accessible and let more and more players collaborate. This lets producers reach a broader market, as well as collect more data on their players. With more data, they can improve current online games, as well as create new ones to stay relevant.

    This is an interesting point that you make, Khalil! I have always wondered what video games would be like if they had the video chat option. If people could see how they are playing live, I feel as though it might either increase the toxic behavior, or reduce it. It may reduce it because when people can see one another they may not be as inclined to insult one another because they are face to face. It is a very interesting concept to think about. I’m sure that it will be a reality soon amongst the gaming world in the coming years.

TopHat

This week in class we actually didn't have class. Our teacher told us that we didn't have to go to class all week, which is lovely. Although we didn't have to go to class we still have homework assignments due on a site called TopHat . Before this eSoc212 class I had never heard of TopHat . Now TopHat is an educational site used for education usage. TopHat subscription costs money which is why so many students complain about it. In my opinion for college student’s online books should be free. Year in and year out per school year students spend at least $700 for books. Now back to our teacher assigning us TopHat homework. The work was uniquely set us so that it would be due at the time that we would usually end class. It was pretty easy because all we had to do was read the reading and then answer the questions right after.

Flickr Usage

Image
In class today we watched a TED talk about Flikr.com and how anyone that has access to a tablet, phone, or laptop can use those pictures for your own usage. This is an interesting subject to me because plagiarism is a big factor in education. A lot of times when you have a project or assignment to complete that needs pictures, you search it up on the internet. More than none the pictures used are from sites like flikr.   If the picture says copyrights reserved, then you can’t use that picture. This situation is contradicting because if the picture can’t be used why is it on the internet. I’ve always have problems with understanding the reason behind that. However, I do understand that if I was to post a picture on the internet that was a unique picture I wouldn’t want anyone else to post it like it was theirs without putting my name on it.

Wikipedia Living

Before this week I had never used  wikipedia  so in depth. On Thursday we were required to make a Wikipedia profile. I never knew that you could make a profile from Wikipedia. I always thought the you had to be licensed in order to have a say so on what is posted on Wikipedia. But that is not the case because I am not licensed and I have a profile. We also watched a video on who people picked their usernames. A lot of people used funny names and others just used their full name like I did. In addition to that, the main problem that I don't like is that anyone can go on Wikipedia and change profiles. Not too long ago I went on Wikipedia and looked up Kobe Bryant and it said that he wore number 33,24, and 8 for the Lakers . When he only wore number 8 and 24   on the Lakers. CCO: https://www.wikipedia.org
