This past week in Digital Humanities we've been having an essay exhibit for everyone's final essay topics. I decided to choose the affects of video games in modern society as my topic for the exhibit and final essay. I've also gathered quite a bit of information from other students from their exhibit pieces. Even though there was a lot of variety as far as topics go, but the majority of the topics were based off video games. Digital Humanities display many different forms of human expression in relation to the advancement of modern technology. But, after the essay exhibit, video games have had more of an impact on our generation based on research I have gathered and from what I have seen in other students exhibit pieces.
The piece that other students have created that will help me with my essay is Hunter Graham's piece on video games and religion. Another piece that I found interesting that I will definitely incorporate into my essay is video games and the military. When I first looked at both of these pieces I was shocked that video games have had such an affect on religion and military. Religion really opened my eyes because I thought video games had nothing to do with religion. The military, however, made a lot of sense to me due to the amount of war games that are growing in popularity today. My essay will cover all the affects video games have had on modern society and how the trend will continue to grow in future generations. Religion and the military will also be referenced in my essay. I hope to continue to see more innovative and exciting breakthroughs in the gaming industry.
