Class 4 Readings (2/7/08)

Rise of the Participation Culture

Well, the one thing I can say about this PowerPoint is that it was really long and terribly redundant. I also finally figured out that it was talking about an advertising business and that the whole thing was an ad for the company. The one thing that I will give it is that if you have been living in a cave (even a virtual one), then is great information and give great detail on some of the ideas of web 2.0.

Review: Meet me at the Xbox Arcade

This article is the one I chose for gaming technology. This is funny because I remember arcades, the idea that one could go and put money in a game and play it. Then we have today, were the whole arcade is at home in a little box connected to the TV. But, Sony has the idea to introduce a new and yet old concept of the arcade. This time you are still at home, but with things like Xbox Live, you are joined with other gamer allover the world.
