3. INTRODUCTION
Online gaming can refer to any type of game that someone can play through the Internet
or over a computer network that has the similar technology. Most of the time, it refers to video
games that are played over the Internet where multiple players are in different location across
the world. Online gaming actually started since the 1982 but because of the lack in modern
technologies, projects and products were turned down one by one. As the 80’s gained
momentum of its technological era, online gaming became a more stable platform but still
experience some difficulties in perfecting it until the 90’s where Sega made a big impact on the
sector by improving the technologies and architecture of the games, this is when it all started to
bloom and grow.
Online gaming has now recently occupied large amount of time in one’s teenage life
because of the craze and addiction one has for gaming. Some might even stay up late at night
just to play online games with friends overseas so that they could match each other’s playing
time which could affect their health and studies as well. But online gaming is not all about
negative effects, sometimes it could allow gamers to expand their social circle by knowing
acquaintances online and get to know various people from around the world.
Our group recently did a survey regarding the commitment of students between two
different age group, which are 18 to 20 years old, and 21 to 23 years old respectively. Our
questionnaire includes individual preference questions such as genre they play the most, how
much time they spent in gaming and such.

28. CONCLUSION
Based on our findings from our questionnaire, we’ve concluded that young adults who
are aged 21 to 23 years old had spent more money on games compared to teens aged 18 to 20
years old. Besides, our questionnaire has also indicated that strategy type games are the most
preferred genre amongst teens aged 18 to 20 years old whereas first person shooter types of
games and strategy games has the same amount of favourites amongst young adults who are
aged 21 to 23 years old. Our survey has also indicated that most of the teens and young adults
play 2 days in a week which means that they are not too addicted to online gaming compared to
the small amount of teens and young adults who plays 7 days a week. People nowadays often
know friends or acquaintances through social media but online gaming has also become one
way of knowing various people online besides using social media, our survey has shown that
most of the teens and young adults knew 0 to 5 acquaintances through online gaming. Last but
not least, there was a question from our questionnaire, which we asked whether they would
continue playing games after they graduate, 37 out of 50 teens chose yes and 34 out of 50
young adults answered yes as well. These are the summary of our research about the
commitment of online gaming between two age group, which are aged 18 to 20 years old, and
21 to 23 years old respectively.
