The other area I am interested for my dissertation is the area of of interactive gaming for the whole family. A lot of games nowadays are aimed at a small group of people and this creates barriers within a family unit. Children and teenagers can be playing their own games and their parents are not able to relate to them. With the creation of things like the Wii and the Nintendo DS, these barriers are being broken down and different generations can interact, communicate and have fun with each other through these devices. They can be a way for people to reconnect who might have lost touch with different age groups. I like the idea of being to bring together segregated groups through fun and play. For instance with children, when they first meet they can be quite shy but when you introduce a game or an element of fun, they tend to forget that they didn't know each other before and their differences can melt away. The same can be said for adults and intergenerational relations, it can just take a little bit longer.
