Blog 5-my hypertext idea

For my hypertext project I would like to do maybe something with video games and the internet. There's so many Internet-based games, like I talked about in my narrative. Including, Halo2 and 3, the SIMS, Alien vs. Predator, Flight Simulators, etc. I love playing video games and the communication between players who are playing the video game makes the game so much more fun. Not to mention, the stratgey in which the game is played. With the Internet, I can communicate with all the members of my team to come up with a plan to beat the opposing team. Not to mention distract the other team by mocking them. It's all in good fun though. Sometimes however, things can get brutal but not usually. Flight simulators are even used by the military to teach young piloets to fly planes. Everything is realistic, it's like a game. Without the Internet, ethernet cables, and joysticks the computer would be less interesting to me.
Another hypertext project idea is to talk about how communication between myspace, face book, IMing and email has changed people's other mean of communication. For example, instead of mailing a letter, we would email the person. Instead of telling your friend a funny joke, we would leave him or her a post on the myspace/facebook page. We pay bills online now too.
I don't really have any other ideas. Maybe a webquest or something.

  1. I really like your idea for your piece. I am not a gamer so needless to say, your ideas would really teach me something. I think this would be a really interesting article! Many people could relate and you can inform others, like myself, who are unfamilar.
