a paper about interactive Media and society
Abstract/ description should be posted for review by Monday. Oct 15 by noon.
Consider the topics covered in the text up to which are following documents and I posted in class notes which may help you– on the Procedural property of the digital medium as written about in the Murray text as well those topics on the HCI definition of affordance presented by Norman.
Select ONE interactive social media or e-commerce system that you use in your everyday life. A multiplayer and socially engaging game that is designed acceptable. You may select an app or an interactive web based service. (Facebook, Instagram, Amazon, Twitter are excluded!)

Interactive Media and Society
Introduction
Video games are interactive media that intend to educate people on various economic issues. Some of the games are only playable by one person while groups of people can play others. Multiple categories of games exist with an aim to educate people and make them more informed on specific economic issues. Anti-war video games are a category of games whose intention is to depict war negatively so that people may detach themselves from acts of war. This category of video games tries to portray war differently from the way other games do. Furthermore, video games take a concept of an existing issue in the economy like World War 1 and 2, nuclear weapons, economic recession among others.
