Title: Online Gaming Platforms and Social Networking: A Socio-economic Study
By exploring trends in the growth of social networking apps and online gaming platforms, I will analyze both the positive and negative impacts from a technological and economic standpoint. I will also explore the impacts, if any, on the social and educational development of today's youth.
Both the video game and social networking industries have seen a surge in growth over the past ten years. This has led to huge economic gains in both of these industries. I would like to further explore what price, as a society, are we paying while continuing to facilitate and drive the continued maturation of these industries.
