VIDEO GAMES MORE THAN A GAME

Summary: IBM Reports

   The online world has many hours invested in it as the real world. This gaming world many of us have experienced has taught people to get out of their comfort zone. In these reports I found out that on average gamers put in 22 hours a week into playing these games. That is the same amount of a part-time job in the real world. 

    In the virtual realm decision-making can either make or break you. What I'm saying is that you can either be a leader or you can be a follower. You tendencies and habits that you acquire from these gaming experiences carry over into the real world which is extraordinary. It creates leaders in people who would've never thought they'd to leave their comfort zone. The rewards you may receive in these games are a reflection of the decision-making you made in order to get that certain point. 

     These "incentive systems" that the creators of the games have made are phenomenal. They tie in virtual world experiences to real world ones. Someone's judgment and responses in a game will separate them from someone else's, in which you either have what it takes at this moment or you don't. If not there will always be another task you may excel in that someone else may not. Leadership in these types of environments don't last forever. Sometimes the rewards in the game can even extend to the real world. 

       The teachings of online gaming form experiences that many people cannot say that they have had. Some of these experiences include strengthening traits and habits that people have, or have acquired while playing online. These strengths help people embrace their confident side. Also gives them more experience (job wise) to feel more at home with being a leader and not a follower. (Such as a management position.) lessons learned by playing online can help turn weaknesses into strengths as well and vice versa. 

        Online gaming has proved to be more than just having fun. It is a way that many companies today use in order to build character skills. Such as strengthening leadership skills and eliminating any weaknesses that don't comply.

Sharing on facebook

facebook likes vs friends vs shares

Facebook

Likes: in Facebook Liking something is showing whoever posted it that you either agree, find it funny, etc. depending on the actual post itself. These lights are only visible to whoever else can see the post as well as the person who posted it. When you like a page however it is different then liking the post. The difference is that by liking a page you are now connecting to it and can see the stories and whatever else is on your newsfeed from that page. It is as if you were adding a friend. 

 

Friends: by adding friends you're connecting with them in which you see the activity while they are on Facebook. There activity is based on what it is they are doing while on the site. Also when you add certain friends suggestions for adding new friends may appear. These suggestions are based on mutual friends that you and someone you may know both have. Friends are something you must add or if they request you, you can either confirm or deny that request. Once that is established you start sharing information between you and your friends on your newsfeed. 

Shares(Sharing): Sharing is a term on Facebook people use when they see a post they find entertaining or interesting to them. Once this are in post is established as entertaining they have the option of sharing it to their friends. And once you share something from one of your friends or a page you follow it appears on your newsfeed. Sharing can vary from links, photos, etc. Sharing is it's own option in which it differs from likes and/or friends. However they are similar but the difference is when you share something you are not connecting to that page but merely showing that you and that post share a common interest.
