The development of Video Games and Film
Video games :
The video game industry has developed over the past 60 years, with all different companies releasing their own consoles to ultimately bring out the leading console and become massively successful as a business as the video game market has become very popular. Through development in the 21st century consoles now incoperate technological convergance into their product. For example the Playstation 3 which is a very successful console incorperates film; including the company 'love film' into their product. music including music videos using a program called 'vid zone' which is free and makes money by advertisng. So with these new areas of media being introduced into the PS3 and also other consoles such as the Xbox and Nintendo Wii, it shows how the video game industry has changed from just a one role of playing games, to being able to do other things then just play games.
Another way that the video game industry has changed is through the development of graphic enhancement. For example the introduction of High Definition in many new consoles has made consumers able to use consoles for Film TV and the internet to a great effect, as gamer realism has developed making consumers believe their part of the game. over the last 60 years different companys have started releasing and trying to compete with the games they create, this has resulted in all different games from all different sports and even making games of new released films.
Film :
There are many ways that film has changed over time. During the 1950's Film was very limited to what it is in the present day. For example in the past there was a small range of films that were shown in cinemas only. Today there are many films produced not only by Hollywood productions but by independent productions groups, also with a boost in the British film industry. People have easy access to films via the internet with easy downloads at the comfort of their own home, without the need to travel to their local cinema. Also another development in the film industry would be the change from just cinema reels to video tapes and then dvds.

Wikinomics : How Mass Collaboration Changes Everything
Web 2.0: associated with web applications that facilitate participatory information sharing, interoperability, user-centered design, and collaboration on the World Wide Web. A Web 2.0 site allows users to interact and collaborate with each other in a social media dialogue as creators (prosumers) of user-generated content in a virtual community, in contrast to websites where users (consumers) are limited to the passive viewing of content that was created for them.
Participating culture : is a neologism in reference of, but opposite to a Consumer culture — in other words a culture in which private persons (the public) do not act as consumers only, but also as contributors or producers. The term is most often applied to the production or creation of some type of published media
Peering: is a voluntary interconnection of administratively separate Internet networks for the purpose of exchanging traffic between the customers of each network. The pure definition of peering is settlement-free or "sender keeps all," meaning that neither party pays the other for the exchanged traffic.
Digital Natives: is a young person who was born during or after the general introduction of digital technology, and through interacting with digital technology from an early age, has a greater understanding of its concepts. Alternatively, this term can describe people born in the latter 1970s or later, as the digital age began at that time; but in most cases the term focuses on people who grew up with 21st century modern technology.
Democratisation is the transition to a more democratic political regime It may be the transition from an authoritarian regime to a full democracy, a transition from an authoritarian political system to a semi-democracy or transition from a semi authoritarian political system to a democratic political system.
