Gaming and Living Architecture

I find video games to be a big incentive when it comes to getting things done and receiving instant gratification in some way or another. If school were based on experience points rather than letter grades it would count in a way more towards our future lives and how qualified  we really are for our intended careers. A great…

Jesse Schell and Living Screens

1) After watching Jesse Schell’s video, I realized a number of things. Schell talks about many scenarios in which the future may end up  like if technology continues to advance like the way it has been over the years. Some points he makes do seem plausible and others not so much. The first example of…

Jesse Schell

In the video ‘Big Brother, Video Game Psychology & Obedient Humans’, Jesse Schell talks about how gaming and technology are constantly being integrated in our lives, and how they may continue to do so in even more prominent ways in the future.

Jesse Schell

In watching the Jesse Schell video, I thought about how some of his aspects were realistic and unrealistic. Some of the things that were plausible for the future is the live gameplay on the back of cereal boxes or live interaction with a screen and wifi of the coke can. This is great advertisement and…

Our Tech Nightmare & Living Skins

by Carlos Cuevas 1) Jesse Schell’s presentation about the future of technology was surprisingly disturbing. A lot of the topics he discussed are highly plausible.

If a point system were ever developed and became mainstream, a point system between everyday activities such as…

Gaming, Living Screens and Educating Communities

The Jesse Schell presentation on bringing gaming into everyday life was quite interesting and somewhat eye-opening. I especially enjoyed his example of fantasy football being a proving point to what he was going to discuss about how easily people become attached to games, which can be as simple or meaningless as fantasy football yet they…

In watching the Jesse Schell video, I definitely thought about how realistic and unrealistic that these sensors and points factor into a person’s life. In finding plausible things with highly advanced technology of the sensors, it is possible for it to happen. I also think it is able to pick up those points. It reminds…

Gaming and the Real World

Ashley Villagrana 1) What is plausible about Jesse Schell’s future is that it does sound fun in a economical sense. It does sound possible with technology happening how it is today. Pedometers that earn you activity points on your ipod is actually up and running today. I can see a person getting points for eating…

Jesse Schell and Connections with Media

1)             Jesse Schell in this video brings up a whole slew of different ways that gaming technology is going to affect our physical lives. The most plausible idea that he brings up, I believe, is when he talks about the games on cereal boxes in the beginning of the…

Roy Liechtenstein and Thomson & Craighead – New Media

One of the artists who stood out to me in this passage was Roy Lichtenstein. While it is not a New Media artist, he is defined as a “pop artist”. His work utilizes comic strips, manipulating them to a more emphasized effect.  In the picture below, Lichtenstein uses bright colors in order to offset the…
