Editor's Notes
- Infrastucture: infrastructure is significantly weaker in rural areas and poor urban areas, where the majority of women tend to liveEducation and Skills: Women in poor countries are less likely to have the education and technological skills to use ICTs effectively. Two thirds of the world’s 900 million illiterates are women.Languange Constraint: Women are less likely than men to know the international languages that are used on the InternetSocio-cultural issues: uncomfortable or inappropriate internet center to be visited by womenFinancial resources: like TV and radio, in a household ussually women have less access to tech thingsMedia Limitation: The available Internet content often does not meet the information needs of women, especially in developing countries
- Less informed:Without access to information and knowledge, women, who are the majority of our population are at risk of permanent economic backwardness, which in turn makes our countries poor

- User agency = all games are simulation, but not all simulations are games. In games people receive impact as the result of their choiceEpistemic viewpoint = a game has an epistemic frame thus a person learns within a site-specific context, its not representative of the real world but it can be a practice media for decision making and reaction practice Self expression: player act as someone else, as the ball in pinball and as the mouth in packman, this provide practice of embodiment. Filling somebody else’s shoesSocial networking = gamers talk and discuss as more and more games go online
- Playing games just like working out, increase adrenaline, and it increase passion to one another. Nobody play to loose 56% men play to win, and 80% women choose to win than to worry their date might took off
