How do video games help us connect socially? What are the ethics of communications technologies like video games? How do people use game spaces to supplement their daily lives?
Clive Thompson, author of Smarter Than You Think: How Technology is Changing Our Minds for the Better, joins Concordia’s Mia Consalvo, a professor in the Department of Communication Studies and Canada Research Chair in Game Studies and Design, for a conversation on how games help us connect socially, the ethics of communications technologies and the impact of online activities on our off-line lives.
This is the first 2016 event in Concordia's Thinking Out Loud ideas festival.
