If they get their own brain that isn't programmed by humans. Didn't we once think that about blacks?
Hey! you are back! Did you get disconnected or was that on my end?
Yeah. I did.
:( I liked your TED talk idea
Thanks! What was yours?
I didnt think of one yet I was asking some questions to you about it but never got an answer :(
What were the questions?
first question was do you play video games???
I don't.
oh haha
My boyfriend does. And, I know a lot of people who do.
why did that topic interest you?
Growing up, I saw video games as something that was just a waste of time.
what about now?
But, a lot of people I respect and love play them. But, these people are not time wasters. They aren't lazy or irresponsible. Why do they play it? It gives them a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. But, what are the other positive side effects? A lot of those who play video games a lot become better at certain things than those who do not. But, then do video games also give people more sense of violence?
violence there is a new study that it does not correlate to violence I cant remember where i read it though
It is all interesting and if I read more papers and research I could understand it more.
Hey heres another question for you then what do you think about professional gaming and streaming video games as a career?
Yeah, I heard of that and it made me feel better about those who play. I believe that it is all in moderation. Professional gaming if you can make a career out of it it is fine. It wouldn't be my first choice. But, you sure can make a lot.
Right now people reject and are baffled that people can make 500k a month playing videos games online and just streaming it live. But the way I see it is that its just like professional sports why do people what people run around and shoot hoops? and pay them millions of dollars a year to watch them play? I think  its the same thing with video games
Yeah, that is a good way to put it.
thanks one day I think it will be acceptable for kids to pursue a video gaming career some universities award scholarships for video gamers haha
Yeah. Things are always changing. There was a time once when books were banned as being a waste of time. And, glasses were seen as something to mock and a shame.
That is true. I think that its great that the world changes. But here another question. Do you think its changing for good or bad mostly?
That is a hard question to answer. I think that there is both. With women's rights, women get the chance to have their mind heard for the first time. But, we loose something with change. We don't have oppressed women anymore, but we do have a lot more broken families. Or do we. Are families just coming out and saying how they feel. Is commitment more trivial  now? So, change is what it is.
interesting yes I do feel that women are being more empowered at our time and I think it is so good
We don't have war with blood as much, but with intelligence and technology. Right it is. Maybe, it is that we are loosing our sense of family because as women have more voice and enter the work force men need to also take over the roles women once did. There needs to be a balance and shared responsibility of roles. And, it seems that the world is forgetting about the core or society; the family.
I really see that too That is why The Family: A proclamtion to the world is my favorite document in the world I think that if we follow that document the family will be better and if the family is better then nations and society will be better then the entire world
Right. Lucky for us that we have that. Too bad most of the world ignore or doesn't know about it. Very true though.
You mentioned your boyfriend. What games does he play?
He plays OverWatch. League of Legends He has a Switch so he plays a lot of games on that.
ohhh league of legends i wasted too much time on that game since highschool i now waste my time with fortnite
I think he's played that too. Yeah, he likes to play that with his brothers. It is free.
yes it is
^^LOL League
I love playing with my friends. its a good bonding moment
Right, I can see that. And, they are fun.
do you play with them?
Sometimes. Not very often. But, he has me play sometimes.
do you like playing or do you play because it makes him happy?
It makes him happy. The games I like to play, he doesn't. But, I know if I start playing the games I like to play, I won't stop since they take a lot of time.
what games do you like to play?
I like to play civilization building games. So when I was little I liked to play Lost Island: Virtual Villagers . But, I never got the paid version, so I would just play the free version over and over
hey ill be back real quick bathroom
Okay
back. I loved building games too like sims or rollercoaster tycoon
Yeah, I've hard to them. Or minecraft
minecraft this guy built westeros for 2 years in minecraft and got a job working for the Game of Thrones
Wow. There is a big market for video games developers.
yes that is true what are you studying? are you a developer?
Information Systems
oh cool! you in the program?
Unfortunately, not yet... I apply this summer.
nicee you confident?
I'm half and half. I could get in. I may not.
how are your grades if you dont mind me asking
They're not the best.
ahhhh I bet you will get in ill pray for you haha
But, that's not all they look at. Thank you! You're sweet. What are you studying?
Im studying IT emphasis in UX
So cool. I find UX really interesting?
interesting but more fun than interesting
Yeah! What projects are you working on?
I am not really working on special projects but I am getting my portfolio together
Cool. That is always a good thing.
why did you choose IS?
I like web designing and analyzing  databases. Also, I find working with VR/AR very interesting and the research behind that.
do you guys dive into that kind of stuff very much in IS?
I'm working to research the impact of AR on humans through HoloLenses. Kind of. The AR and the VR stuff is on the side with some IS professors. We do do a lot of data analyzing and web designing though. I liked that it bridged computer science and people. I didn't want to just be programming all day long, but I wanted to do some.
yeah true I felt the same way but i did IT because i didnt want to waste my time on the pre reqs
Haha. I know I was so annoyed when I learned I had to take all of those.
do you have a back up if you dont get in?
Try again, but maybe do a business major with IS emphasis or do CS, but then I'd have to take a bunch of other classes or do Industrial Design. Yeah... we'll see. But, if I don't get in it will be for the best.
Industrial design huh? you have to get in to that too you didnt mention IT in there at all why not?
Haha. I don't know much about what IT does.
IT is probably your second best choice if you dont want to code all day long
But, it is similar. I could look into that program. Is it easier to get into. Or open enrollment?
open
Yeah, I'll think about that if I don't get in.
look in to it we do a lot of web dev databases we lead in Cyber Security and UX design and we do networking here too
Sounds a lot like IS. Haha.
lead in that also yup except we are way more technical and dive into it deeper than IS does
Hmmmm. Sounds very good. Well, I've got to go. I've enjoyed our chat! :)
me too see you later!
