Extended presentation offered to help promote video games in library/academic settings. Topics of the presentation include Rise of Video Games, Where video games are played, demographic of gamers, myths & facts with video games, educational aspects of video games, how to host a party/tournament, and advice on building a collection.
viewers are welcome to refer to this presentation but are asked to ask permission before use.
The advantage and disadvantage of playing video game
Playing video games can have both advantages and disadvantages. While video games may improve problem solving and dexterity skills, excessive unrestricted use can be harmful, especially for children. Prolonged exposure to violent video games has been linked to increased aggression in some adolescents. Video games can also isolate children from the real world and negatively impact social skills and school performance if not limited. However, in moderation video games may offer cognitive benefits like enhanced strategic thinking and quick decision making. It is important for parents to monitor children's video game use and restrict access to inappropriate content.
Audiences and videogames
The document discusses findings from the BBFC's 2006 research into video game audiences. It found that younger gamers are influenced to play violent titles due to peer pressure, and that negative press coverage increases interest. However, younger players often find game violence upsetting. The research also found gender differences in game preferences, with females preferring non-violent games and males favoring first-person shooters and sports games.
Audiencesandvideogames 101118033217-phpapp01
Videogames have received criticism for potentially causing negative effects such as increased aggression and violence. However, research on this topic has produced mixed results, with no definitive proof that game effects last long-term or transfer to real-world behavior. Younger gamers are sometimes influenced by older siblings to play inappropriate games, though the classification system aims to prevent this.
Audiencesandvideogames
Videogame players are often compared to drug addicts who seek an instant rush or fix from playing electronic games. A 2006 study by the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) found that younger gamers are influenced to play violent titles due to peer pressure, and negative media coverage increases interest in these games. However, the BBFC also noted that graphic violence in games can upset younger players.

What is the Meaning of this? Understanding the contentious(?) relationship be...West Virginia University - Department of Communication Studies
Video games have enjoyed sustained economic and cultural success for nearly four decades, with their success often attributed to their interactive nature: passive audiences become active users with a vested stake in the on-screen experience. However, as games continue their evolution from singular challenge/skill puzzles to narrative-rich virtual worlds, the manner in which we play and are affected by this play has been called into question. Specifically, given that users do not have an unlimited ability to process stimuli, one might challenge the implicit assumption that gamers interact with and are influenced by all on-screen content in a similar fashion. The following presentation outlines emerging theory and research into the ways in which gamers attend to different on-screen content, and how this implicit and explicit attention can impact the overall entertainment experience.

Gaming evolution
This document discusses the evolution of games from early genres to future virtual worlds. It summarizes key game genres including action, fighting, role-playing, and sports. The future of gaming may involve stimulating all five senses through sights, sounds, and potentially smells. Virtual worlds allow people to interact in simulated environments and buy virtual goods. Some gamers become highly engaged by joining guilds, earning money through game assets, or researching games. Sandbox games offer open-ended, goal-less exploration. While games provide enjoyment and learning, excessive play can lead to addiction symptoms like depression and withdrawal from social activities.
Video Gaming
1) Video games have historically underrepresented women and minorities in both character representations and marketing. Female characters have often been limited to tropes like the damsel in distress.
2) More recent games have provided more options for customizing avatars and their race/gender, but stereotypes still persist in both character designs and player interactions. For example, most black male characters are athletes.
3) Massively multiplayer online role-playing games in particular can reinforce real-world biases through the social interactions between globally connected players. Representations in games both shape and reflect societal views.
What Are Games
The document defines games and video games. It notes that games involve independent decision-makers pursuing goals within set rules. Video games add interactivity through controllers and screens.

It discusses positive impacts of games on families, the economy, employment, education, health, and art.
Video gaming impect on Children
Video gaming impact on children
The presentation discusses the positive effects that video games can have on children between ages 0-16. It argues that video games can enhance cognitive skills like problem solving, logic, hand-eye coordination and spatial awareness. They also promote creativity, quick thinking, strategy and risk-taking. When supervised, video games can be educational and help children learn concepts like math, planning and teamwork. However, the effects depend on the type of game played and moderation is important.
Video Games: Advantages and Disadvantages
This document discusses video games and gaming consoles. It notes that while games can provide social, intellectual, and educational benefits like improved coordination, reaction time, and problem solving skills, they also have disadvantages like potential isolation, overuse leading to physical problems, and being an expensive hobby. The document also lists the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 as commonly used consoles and acknowledges that new motion-sensing games require more physical activity.
Video games and audience
The document discusses different types of video game audiences: casual audiences who do not view gaming as a special event; devoted audiences who specifically choose and return to certain games; and avid audiences for whom gaming becomes part of their lives. It also outlines the appeal of video games, including their immersive narratives that allow interaction and choice-based storytelling. Finally, it addresses concerns that violent games may desensitize or influence players, as well as the role of gaming media in shaping opinions.
Video games and consumption

- Gamers span all ages but core gamers are typically 18-49 years old.

Lightning Talk #9: How UX and Data Storytelling Can Shape Policy by Mika Aldaba
How can we take UX and Data Storytelling out of the tech context and use them to change the way government behaves?
Showcasing the truth is the highest goal of data storytelling. Because the design of a chart can affect the interpretation of data in a major way, one must wield visual tools with care and deliberation. Using quantitative facts to evoke an emotional response is best achieved with the combination of UX and data storytelling.

Succession “Losers”: What Happens to Executives Passed Over for the CEO Job? Stanford GSB Corporate Governance Research Initiative
This document summarizes a study of CEO succession events among the largest 100 U.S. corporations between 2005-2015. The study analyzed executives who were passed over for the CEO role ("succession losers") and their subsequent careers. It found that 74% of passed over executives left their companies, with 30% eventually becoming CEOs elsewhere. However, companies led by succession losers saw average stock price declines of 13% over 3 years, compared to gains for companies whose CEO selections remained unchanged. The findings suggest that boards generally identify the most qualified CEO candidates, though differences between internal and external hires complicate comparisons.Viewers also liked (6)
