Building on that Groove, or How Google Found Me

Revolution, No Matter What?

So, interesting thing about Google. Can you truly walk away from your mistakes? Is there really such a thing as "starting over" now that Google exists? That makes me uneasy. All of us have made mistakes (including a perfect being like me) but in this country there is always an opportunity to make a fresh start, barring running for office. If you don't seek the public spotlight and you didn't commit a henious crime, there shouldn't be anything holding you down. But now Google throws that all out of whack. We always fear the powers of Big Brother, but what if we should be worried about the curious Average Joe (or Joanne) so travels the tubes of the Internet? Although it may seem insignificant I have seen other people get ruined by revenge, envy, and jealousy, and that took some work. With Google, and some patience, the door is opened for casual reputation destruction. I say casual because it used to be a person had to be really driven to take someone down, whether for good or evil (mostly evil). Now all it takes is working the keyboard and clicking some sites. What happens when all the things we have ever done becomes digital? What happens when our information is used for other people's purposes? Some people say this has already happened. I think we haven't begun to understand the transformation our society might go through that frankly I don't know we can survive.

More Project Details

Since beginning the project the main crux of the arguement is if professional video games can capture the same relavance that sports like football (Amercian), baseball, and other activities in society. Korea is a potential model to what it might be like in North America. What I will be focusing on is the creation of a fan base that would rival sports fans, if not in number then in passion.

Also, there is some more information sources that I have been looking at.

There is an abundance of evidence that pro gaming can have an impact although that is restricted with avid video game players. Our main focus is to prove that pro gaming can be main stream. Now, to research.
